Add confirmation dialogue to cancel function.

Sometimes I press ESC in other apps, resulting in the recording being accidentally lost before processing. A confirmation prompt could avoid that. This could be set as optional. Alternatively the ability to recover interrupted recordings in a temporary folder would also help.

Both me and my partner have lost too many recordings to where we don't trust using superwhisper anymore because we fear we'll lose something important again. A confirmation dialogue for the cancel function + the ability to recover recordings when superwhisper crashes or for accidental cancels would be majorly important for us.

Neil any chance this could be added to the roadmap?

Max Stoiber: Hey Max, this shipped a while ago. Also the cancel recording key is now customizable.

Neil Chudleigh: I'm still seeing "ESC" cancel a recording without a confirmation dialog. v1.21.1 I can clear the "Cancel recording shortcut" and remove ESC, but then I can't cancel anymore either.

Max Stoiber: You could change to a different shortcut that is less likely to be accidently pressed. I am trying hard to not bloat the application with so many switches and controls that it becomes a nightmare to maintain and confusing for users.
