How to set a custom dictation shortcut in Vorn Voice.

Setting a custom shortcut

  1. Open Vorn Voice settings.
  2. Find the Hotkey section.
  3. Click the shortcut field and press your desired key combination.
  4. The app validates the shortcut and saves it immediately.

Your shortcut must include at least one modifier key (Shift, Command/Ctrl, Alt/Option). The dictation and notes shortcuts must be different from each other.

If your hotkey is not working

  • Make sure no other app is using the same shortcut.
  • On Linux with Wayland, global hotkeys may not work in the background. See Hotkey issues for workarounds.
  • Try a different key combination if the current one conflicts with a system shortcut.
