## Summary Add push-to-talk voice input for zsh terminal workflows. Ctrl-B starts background mic capture via arecord/PipeWire, Ctrl-Y stops recording, runs local ASR via whisper.cpp, and pastes the transcript into the prompt. All logic is CLI-first and dotfiles-managed. ## Highlights - `voice-record` script: start/stop arecord in background, transcribe via whisper-cli, write transcript atomically to state file - `voice-paste` script: print last transcript to stdout for composability - ZLE widgets bind Ctrl-B (record) and Ctrl-Y (stop + transcribe + paste) - Installer builds whisper.cpp from source and downloads ggml-base.en model - Shared config.env with env-var overrides for device, format, rate, ASR binary, model path, and state paths Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every other subtree uses `<subtree>/install.sh`, not a nested `install/` directory. Fixes the REPO_ROOT path detection accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Clipboard-based transcript injection allows pasting voice transcripts into any application (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) that doesn't support ZLE widgets. - copy_to_clipboard() auto-detects Wayland vs X11 (wl-copy / xclip) - kdialog passive popup notifications for start/stop feedback - Minimal tmux config with prefix+v / prefix+y voice keybindings - KDE .desktop files for Meta+Shift+V / Meta+Shift+Y global shortcuts - Install scripts wire everything together with absolute path rewriting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- ZLE: Ctrl-B/Ctrl-Y → Alt-r/Alt-s (avoids tmux prefix capture) - tmux: prefix+v/prefix+y → prefix+r/prefix+s (mnemonic: record/stop) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Background the stop command in tmux so it doesn't block input - Cap whisper-cli to 2 threads to avoid starving the system - Lower CPU priority with nice -n 15 - Add "Transcribing…" notification so user gets immediate feedback Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Use setsid to fully detach stop command so run-shell returns immediately - Inject transcript directly into tmux pane via send-keys Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
setsid broke clipboard and tmux injection by detaching from the session. run-shell -b (tmux 3.2+) backgrounds natively without losing environment context. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Clipboard-based transcript injection allows pasting voice transcripts into any application (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) that doesn't support ZLE widgets. Adds tmux keybindings and KDE global shortcuts as trigger mechanisms that work outside the zsh prompt.
