Problem

Settings → Voice shows the dictation mode but gives no way to see or change its keyboard shortcut there. Changing it requires finding the separate Keybindings page.

Change

Add the existing keybinding control beside the dictation mode dropdown. It uses the same text input, Save button, conflict warning, and guarded save path as Keybindings. Both places edit the existing composer.dictation rule, preserving its condition. Mixed, multiple, or unloaded rules link to the detailed editor.

Shortcut recording ignores dictation handling so recording the current chord does not start the microphone. SnapShots and the existing Keybindings editing UI are unchanged.

Scope and approval

This is focused configuration of an established capability under CONTRIBUTING.md: dictation and its configurable shortcut already exist. The change exposes that shortcut beside its existing Voice setting, without changing defaults, storage, or the recording workflow.

Verification

  • vp run check:changed HEAD against upstream main at 2b65ffb641f1: 40 tests passed, along with format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and React compiler checks.
  • Inline browser tests cover explicit Save, exact rule replacement and conditions across selected environments, authoritative refresh, conflicts, Escape, mixed/multiple/unloaded fallback, permission denial/recheck, and failed-save retention. The dictation test confirms recorder keys and Escape do not start or cancel dictation.
  • The requester tested the isolated live build and approved it before this PR. The screenshots show the reported original Voice setting and the inline control in the isolated preview. Physical microphone and native desktop shortcut behavior were not independently retested.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 739b253

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Voice settings gains inline editing for the existing dictation shortcut, with permission checks and a fallback to Keybindings for mixed configurations. Defaults remain unchanged, and shortcut capture avoids triggering dictation.

Walkthrough

The change adds scoped inline keybinding editing and shared save handling across connected environments. Voice settings add a control for the composer.dictation binding. Dictation shortcut handling now ignores keydown events from keybinding capture elements.

Changes: Keybinding editing and dictation shortcuts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scoped inline editing and save
apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingCommandControl.browser.test.tsx
A shared save hook checks write access and upserts bindings across connected environments. The command control uses an inline editor when matching command rows are available; otherwise, it links to the command’s detailed settings. Browser tests cover saving, cancellation, permissions, and failed saves.
Dictation shortcut integration
apps/web/src/components/settings/VoiceSettingsPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/speech/useDictationShortcut.ts, apps/web/src/speech/useDictationShortcut.browser.test.tsx
Voice settings add a control for the composer.dictation binding. Dictation handling ignores keydown events from elements marked with [data-keybinding-capture]. Browser tests cover recorder input and Escape.

Explanation

The title "feat(web): edit the dictation shortcut inline in Voice settings" names the primary change: an inline editor for the dictation shortcut in Voice settings. The changeset adds KeybindingCommandControl for composer.dictation to VoiceSettingsPanel, adds an inline-or-link path in KeybindingsSettings.tsx, and ignores recorder keydown events in useDictationShortcut. The title is specific, follows the conventional commit format, and is a single sentence.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections, and each section has substantive content. The Problem section states the gap and the expected behavior. The Change section explains the inline control, the shared save path, the fallback for mixed or unloaded rules, and the recording guard. The Scope section argues that this is focused configuration of an established capability under CONTRIBUTING.md. The Verification section lists the test command, the browser test coverage, and the screenshots. It also states what was not checked: physical microphone and native desktop shortcut behavior. The template's model-and-harness line is present at the end. Some items could be stronger. The Scope section cites approval from a requester but does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval comment, and the screenshots are hosted URLs that were not verified from the description alone.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head e6248de0c996ef624824baecc9d3330d9c2ab1e6 on linux, using repository Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome against vp run dev with isolated state. main (d1aeed249288585390dbac4fde5b54c35bd5fc06) ran first in a separate worktree; its server was stopped before starting this head.

  • reproduced the missing inline control on main. the pr exposes it beside the existing dictation mode dropdown.
  • created a project pointing at a real git checkout through the app. real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns completed on main and this head with the requested response.
  • recorded the current shortcut without triggering microphone startup, checked the command-palette conflict warning, and cancelled a draft with Escape.
  • saved ctrl+alt+d, reloaded, and confirmed persistence. the existing Keybindings page reflected that value; saving there also updated Voice settings. the persisted rule kept when: !terminalFocus.
  • changed the mode using its existing dropdown. the old shortcut stopped triggering dictation; the new shortcut reached the real microphone-start path, which reported "Couldn't start recording" on this VM with no audio input device.
  • inspected the layout at 1440x1000 in light mode and 900x900 in dark mode.
  • vp run check:changed 2b65ffb641f152fadf443096bad7f4a0677caae4 passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, 40 tests, and React compiler checks. the remote worker needed its Playwright browser installed before the successful run.

before, main:

after, pr:

interaction recording, with page-loading intervals removed:

Not verified

actual audio capture, hold/release recording, cancellation during an active recording, and end-to-end speech transcription: Chrome enumerated audio outputs only, with no microphone input. no fake media device or recorded-audio fixture was substituted. native desktop shortcuts, macOS/Windows, native iOS/Android, cloud speech services, multi-environment saves, permission-denied sessions, and remote/relay connections were not exercised in this linux run.
