In the Claude Code CLI, /voice enables push-to-talk on Space, rebindable via keybindings.json (voice:pushToTalk). In the Claude Code desktop app (macOS, v2.1.247), the mic button in the chat input is click-only and /voice returns "isn't available in this environment."
Request: a keyboard shortcut (ideally rebindable, like the CLI) to start/stop dictation in the desktop app's input box. Users coming from push-to-talk tools (Whisperflow, etc.) or the CLI's hold-Space expect hands-on-keyboard voice capture; reaching for the mouse breaks the flow.
