What's Wrong?
Voice mode appears to be enabled by default when starting a new session,
but the recording keybinding (º key) does not respond until you toggle
voice mode off (/voice) and back on (/voice).
- Claude Code version: 2.1.74
- OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Shell: Git Bash
- Terminal: Windows Terminal
What Should Happen?
The voice recording keybinding should be functional immediately when
voice mode is active on session start, without requiring a manual toggle.
