Description
Product change
- Source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/336342
- Merged: 2026-09-16T18:16:56Z
While Voice Mode is connected and active, Ctrl+Shift+M on Windows and Linux or Cmd+Shift+M on macOS toggles microphone mute without ending the session. The keybinding runs agentsVoice.toggleMute, shown in the Command Palette as Voice Mode: Toggle Mute Microphone.
Why the docs need an update
docs/configure/accessibility/voice.md only describes using the chat input controls to mute or unmute Voice Mode.
Suggested documentation
docs/configure/accessibility/voice.md: Add the keyboard shortcut and Command Palette workflow to the Voice Mode configuration guidance.
Acceptance criteria
- Voice Mode documentation includes the default cross-platform shortcut.
- The command name and connected-session behavior are accurate.
