Better mic selection logic
planned

I'd be fine if the Mic option just appeared in the pop-up - similar to how Loom confirms it first.
Regardless of if the logic is improved - I always want to double check before starting that it's correct.

For my personal use case, adding it to the menu wouldn't really solve anything. I just want a one time "set it and forget it" microphone to use, and if it's not available, use system default.
For context, I want to minimize the amount of times my AirPods mic is used, because when AirPods have to switch Bluetooth usage to two-way I/O (vs just output), it makes output quality shitty -- but only temporarily, while I'm recording.
So in a super ideal world, I could set a hierarchy of microphones to use, going to the next if the current one is not available. i.e.
- MacBook internal mic
- Webcam mic
- System default

Thoughts on adding this capability to switch to the menu?

Neil Chudleigh- glad this is marked planned. This is my biggest frustration currently. Nothing like doing a long dictation and realizing that you used AirPods and the input is garbage.

Brandon i agree.

This, so so this. It is the single most annoying thing about using superwhisper. I hit the keyboard shortcut, wait for it to load... and then nothing. Then have to find the icon, go to settings, choose the SAME MIC every time, and then re-start. Hopefully I haven't forgotten the thought I was trying to capture in the process. Please fix this, or, related to https://superwhisper.canny.io/feature-requests/p/easierautomatic-way-to-change-mic-input - just give us an easier way to switch inputs.
