Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

in VR mode if you want to mute your mic you have to go to your menu directly which could be a little inconvenient having a button would be way easier I am not that educated on VR inputs but a toggle mute/push-to-talk would be amazing in VR Mode

Relevant issues

2733 but it's asking for a work-around

Describe the solution you'd like

toggle mute/push-to-talk in VR Mode

Describe alternatives you've considered

maybe #2733 if it's implemented or keeping a keyboard next to you and click the key directly

Additional context

I was with a new user and they were wondering if they could toggle there microphone using a button without the menu

I asked about this before. Push-to-talk already exists for desktop mode, and when I questioned if it could be added for VR mode, I got this response from Frooxius (on 13 August 2021):

It's only for desktop right now. For VR we don't have free buttons available, so it's a bit trickier to implement there.

that makes a lot of sense I can see that perspective maybe a toggle mute is more feasible like double tap the A button to mute

If we get a generalized custom button mapping system as per #1314 it may be more possible to implement this.

In the meantime, there are probably custom solutions that users could implement to fit the needs of this issue.
