Audio Record Hotkey

Use case or problem

First of all, I LOVE Obsidian. So much so I’d like to make it slightly better. :grin:

So, I create audio memos on a daily basis. As someone who has a limited Hotkey budget (lots of plugins and limited memory), it would be a nice hotkey saver to use the same hotkey to start and stop (toggle) the recording.

And unfortunately this doesn’t work:

:cry:

Proposed solution

My proposed solution is to create a new hotkey option to Toggle the Audio Record with a single hotkey. :joy: Something like “Audio recorder: Toggle recording audio”

Current workaround (optional)

The only workaround that I can think of is to have a key combination modifier, something like Ctrl+R (on) and Ctrl+Shift+R (off). :neutral_face:

This is a problem for me as well. On mobile it requires two separate buttons in the toolbar to perform the functionality of the single start/stop recording button on desktop

Came here to say this as well. In addition to “limited hotkey budget”, it’s just easier to remember one hotkey instead of two.
