Description

Your idea

Not all voices appear even if I shortcut for voice 3

Problem to be solved

When I type ctrl-alt-3 or 4, no voice is selected because only voice 1 and 2 are visible by default. I like the cute open/close eyelid thing btw!

Anyway, maybe ask the user if you should display 4 voices, or just do it if voice 3 or 4 is selected.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Ctrl-Alt-3 and Ctrl-Alt-4 shortcuts when only voices 1 and 2 are visible in the voice toolbar. Trace the keyboard-shortcut handling and toolbar selection behavior, then verify that selecting voice 3 or 4 produces a visible, highlighted voice button or the agreed prompt.
