Better support for complex keyboard shortcuts?

Open lazerwalker opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Several other local whisper wrappers allow me to set custom keyboard shortcuts such as e.g. "fn + ctrl + opt + cmd". VoiceInk either requires you to select a single modifier key on its own (which leads me to accidental mispresses!) or a complex shortcut that involves pressing a character key (which I currently do, but dislike).

Being able to set up this sort of "multiple modifier key, no character" shortcut is what would allow me to switch over to use VoiceInk as my preferred dictation tool.

Noting this appears to be a limitation of https://github.com/sindresorhus/KeyboardShortcuts, so an improvement would need to happen upstream instead of here.

VoiceInk currently uses a keyboard shortcuts package, as you said for custom keyboard shortcuts, which does not allow this. You can raise an issue over their GitHub.
