Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex App
What feature would you like to see?
Please add a setting that lets users choose whether the global dictation hotkey starts dictation with a single press or a double press. The current double-press-only behavior disrupts established workflows for users who previously used a single press. Keeping double press as the default is fine; an opt-in single-press option would preserve both accidental-activation protection and existing muscle memory.
