Voice mode: spacebar hold doesn't trigger voice on new session start

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 16, 2026 by nach-dakwale Closed Mar 20, 2026

Bug

After starting a new Claude Code session, holding spacebar to trigger voice mode sometimes doesn't work. The voice listener appears to not fully initialize on session start.

Repro steps

  1. Start a new Claude Code session with voice mode enabled
  2. Hold spacebar to trigger voice input
  3. Nothing happens — voice doesn't activate

Workaround

Disable voice mode, then re-enable it with /voice. After toggling, spacebar hold works correctly.

Expected behavior

Spacebar hold should trigger voice input immediately on session start without needing to toggle voice off/on.

Environment

  • macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
