Feature Request: Ability to display current input source via hotkey without switching #88

Description

@laterites

Sometimes, I need to quickly verify which input source is active during typing ( I use 2 different languages in a text block and switching often) . Currently, to see the layout, I usually have to trigger a switch, which can be disruptive if I was already on the correct language.

I would love an option to assign a "Display Only" hotkey (e.g., a combination of modifier keys like Opt or Ctrl).

Behavior: When the hotkey is pressed , the InputSourcePro indicator/overlay appears to show the current active layout.
Result: The input source does not change. The overlay simply dismisses itself after a short delay .

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I have to switch back and forth or look up at the menu bar, which breaks focus from the center of the screen where the work is happening.

Additional context
This would be incredibly helpful for users who work with multiple languages in one text post or many apps and windows with different languages
