Description
Voice mode (/voice) stopped working entirely after upgrading from 2.1.81 to 2.1.83 on Linux. Neither custom keybindings nor the default space push-to-talk trigger recording.
Steps to reproduce
- Upgrade to 2.1.83
- Run
/voiceto enable voice mode - Hold
space(default) or any custom voice keybinding — nothing happens
Expected behavior
Holding the push-to-talk key should start recording audio and transcribing speech, as it did in 2.1.81.
Actual behavior
No recording starts. Voice mode appears enabled (/voice toggles on) but push-to-talk is completely unresponsive.
Environment
- Working version: 2.1.81
- Broken version: 2.1.83
- Platform: Linux x64 (Ubuntu, kernel 6.17.0-19-generic)
- Terminal: PyCharm integrated terminal
- Audio tools:
sox/recandarecordavailable - Config:
voiceEnabled: trueinsettings.json, customkeybindings.jsonwithalt+v(also tested without custom keybindings)
