Summary
AI summaryDefault hotkeys changed to F7 for dictation and F8 for the voice assistant with a unified toggle/hold mode setting.
Full changelog
Changed
- Default hotkeys:
F7for dictation,F8for the voice assistant,
toggle mode by default. Previous defaults — F8 (push-to-talk hold),
F9 (toggle), F10 (assistant push-to-talk) — collided with htop's
exit / kill / nice bindings and, in F10's case, the GTK menubar
shortcut. The two dictation keys collapse into one (F7) and the
assistant key moves down by two (toF8). Both keys now share a
single[hotkeys].mode = "toggle" | "hold"setting that applies
globally;mode = "toggle"(default) means press once to start,
press again to stop. The assistant moves to toggle by default too
— no more holding a key down through the multi-second STT → LLM →
TTS round trip. [hotkeys].togglerenamed to[hotkeys].dictation. Old configs
continue to parse via a serde alias; existing user overrides keep
working.[hotkeys].holdfield removed. Push-to-talk is now expressed
as[hotkeys].mode = "hold", which applies to both the dictation
and the assistant key. Old configs withhold = "F8"are silently
ignored on load. To keep push-to-talk, setmode = "hold"in your
config (the dictation and assistant keys remain whatever you have
bound).
