Feature Request
Current behavior
/voice requires holding down the spacebar (push-to-talk) for the entire duration of recording. This is inconvenient for longer dictation sessions.
Desired behavior
Add a toggle mode option for /voice: press once to start recording, press again to stop — instead of requiring continuous key hold.
Motivation
- Holding spacebar for extended periods is ergonomically uncomfortable
- In meeting/discussion scenarios (e.g., using
/voicefor transcription), hands-free recording is much more practical - A simple toggle would greatly improve the voice dictation UX
Suggested implementation
- Add a setting like
voice.mode: "toggle" | "pushToTalk"(default:pushToTalkfor backward compatibility) - Or add a keybinding action
voice:toggleRecordalongside the existingvoice:pushToTalk
