Push-to-talk (PTT) keyboard shortcut on Windows? #181

Open michaelbeijer opened 3 months ago

michaelbeijer commented 3 months ago

It would be cool to have an optional push-to-talk (PTT) keyboard shortcut on Windows, where it records as long as it is pressed down.

I find this more intuitive than the current system:

  1. press down/up (to start recording)
  2. system records
  3. press down/up (to stop recording)

Hey Michael, thank you again for the feature suggestion!

Currently, I am limited by the Tauri global keyboard shortcut API, so I can't have key up or down functionality.

I plan on making some changes and having a custom keyboard shortcut manager in the distant future, as mentioned in #130 !

Cool, thanks!

I strongly support this feature request. Maybe it's possible to (optionally) have different hotkeys for switching Whispering on and off. This way it would be possible to create a reliable push-to-talk hotkey, for example using AutoHotkey, for as long as this is not yet available natively.
