Feature Request

Current behavior:

  • tap mode: Space toggles recording (only works with empty input)
  • hold mode: Hold Space to record

Desired behavior: Combine both - when input empty, tap Space to toggle. When input has text, hold Space to dictate inline.

Use case: Often start with voice (tap), then want to add more via dictation after typing corrections. Currently must switch modes manually with /voice hold.

Proposed UX:

  • Empty input → tap behavior
  • Has text → hold behavior
  • Single mode name: auto or hybrid

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a new auto or hybrid mode that conditionally applies tap or hold behavior based on input presence.

Guidance

  • Determine the current input state (empty or not) to decide between tap and hold behaviors.
  • Introduce a conditional logic to switch between these behaviors based on the input state.
  • Consider adding an option to configure this new mode, allowing users to choose between auto, tap, and hold modes.
  • Evaluate the need for additional UX elements, such as indicators or tooltips, to inform users about the current mode and behavior.

Example

if (inputIsEmpty()) {
  // Apply tap behavior
  toggleRecordingOnSpaceTap();
} else {
  // Apply hold behavior
  startDictationOnSpaceHold();
}

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the underlying technology stack and existing codebase. This guidance assumes a basic understanding of the current implementation and may require adjustments to fit the specific requirements.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by introducing the proposed auto or hybrid mode, as it seems to address the desired user experience without requiring significant changes to the existing functionality.
