Feature Request: Single-Press Toggle to Start/Stop Recording

Currently, Monologue offers two recording activation modes:

  • Hold to record – requires keeping the key pressed the entire time

  • Double-press to record – requires a double-tap to start

Both introduce unnecessary cognitive friction. Holding a key splits your mental focus between physically maintaining the press and actually thinking/speaking. Double-press is better, but still creates a small, consistent mental lag before every recording — and when you're dictating thousands of sentences a day, that friction compounds and becomes genuinely exhausting.

Proposed solution: Add a single-press toggle option — one press to start recording, one press to stop. Simple, clean, zero friction.

This would make the workflow feel truly seamless: press once, focus entirely on speaking, press once to finish. No holding, no double-tapping, no micro-interruptions pulling you out of your flow.

For heavy users, this small change would make a significant difference in daily comfort and efficiency. Thank you for considering it!
