Add option to open recording window near mouse cursor / active window
I have a large monitor and a secondary monitor, so sometimes the distance where SuperWhisper is giving me recording feedback is really far away from where I need to insert the text it's transcribing. This option would base the position of the recording window to the position of the mouse cursor (or caret if available). As a secondary option, it would center the window to the active app's primary window.

Hi Neil and Superwhisper team. It would be awesome if we could enable this option with Superwhisper. It makes a lot of sense to have it launch where the mouse position is, since users will typically click into a text field and dictate, and that's where the eyes are going to be drawn to when you're dictating, because you're going to paste the text into that text field when it's done. I use this position option extensively with BetterTouchTool, for example, to launch the clipboard history and so forth. You can select the mouse position in the settings. You could do something similar in Superwhisper. Allow the users a bit more freedom as to where they would like the window to appear. Once open, the window sticks where the mouse was at when the shortcut was pressed. The only issue I see is if the text field / mouse position is near an edge of the screen when the shortcut is pressed, but you could make the Superwhisper window lengthen inwards if that's the case.
