Keyboard shortcuts for different modes
J

Create the ability to switch between modes with keyboard shortcuts, or maybe a single base shortcut that allows you to select 0-9 to choose the specific mode. It's a bit painful at the moment to have to switch back and forth between modes by manually right clicking and selecting a mode.

I think this is one of the great features to help us quickly switch to the modes we frequently use and navigate between sections with ease.

Totally agree, want to be able to trigger modes that I use frequently immediately, no switching. Especially cumbersome when I forget that some AI mode was used and I don't get a transcript but an LLM response and then I have to go to history :/

Especially when using push-to-talk switching modes is very clunky.
Would love an optional shortcut per mode (push-to-talk-style)

I would use SuperWhisper much more if I could directly use a keyboard shortcut to trigger a specific mode. Currently, I have to choose the mode — which slows me down. I'd LOVE to just be able to trigger a mode and launch recording directly from a keyboard shortcut.

After pressing ⌥ Shift K, it would be helpful to filter a mode by typing its name. While this is possible with Raycast, having this as a native superwhisper feature would be quicker.

It is very frustrating not having direct keyboard shortcuts to choose different modes without ⌥ Shift K.

I incorporated this functionality into the Alfred workflow, but it can easily be done with other apps, like Keyboard Maestro or even Shortcuts. The pieces are already there since there's a URL scheme for the app. All you need is the "key" of a given mode (you can find it in the JSON file of the mode, in documents/superwhisper/modes by default). Here's a shortcut that explains it better: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/88e731f57daa4c79b604b89dec1f839d

Robert J. P. Oberg Thank you for this solution. This works very well.

Commenting to bump this.

I've managed to do this with separate AppleScripts for each mode, which I activate via Raycast. And by adding the scripts to Raycast, can also add different keyboard shortcuts to start recording with each mode.
But it would be nice to have a 'proper' solution built in.
Daniel Maxwell
Jono Hunt Is there any way you could share this in Raycast with me? I can't quite figure this out (I'm not techy)
Jono Hunt
Daniel Maxwell Here's one of the scripts I use with Raycast to activate recording with one of my modes called 'Voice Dictation'. You could create more scripts to activate different modes based off this example.

Please add the ability for the user to add a direct keyboard shortcut for each mode.
Users frequently have to switch between the modes and currently the only way to do this is to launch superwhisper, change/select the mode, then place the cursor back to where it was. It would be great if we could assign a keyboard shortcut that directly launches superwhisper in the assigned mode.
