The Problem

As far as I know, no Matrix client currently implements this basic feature common in almost all voice chat applications.

The Solution

A basic push-to-talk system that can be toggled on and off, with a selectable hotkey.

I am not too familiar with PTT, is that a system global hotkey or does that only work, when the application is focused?

Generally it's a global hotkey, and that is desirable. The only instance I can think of where the window must be focused is Discord in a browser due to the limitations of being a website.

Hm, that might be difficult to do on some platforms, but we can try.
