Dikte already chose its clipboard programs once instead of in every
function; macOS joins that table rather than adding a branch to each one.
A Mac copies through pbcopy and presses Cmd+V straight into CoreGraphics,
records through AVFoundation, and asks Carbon for its global shortcuts.
The three tables are paste.Desktop, audio.Sound, and the pair of
predicates in hotkey.py. Each reads sys.platform inside the chooser, so a
test can stand somewhere else: 697 of the 737 tests now run on any
machine, the Wayland and X11 halves included, and the suite passes whole
whichever system it is run on.
Two things a Mac does not have needed saying rather than pretending:
there is no shortcut registry to install into, so Settings offers no
Install button and the listener is the mechanism instead of a fallback;
and nothing is offered as the sound the speakers are playing, so a
meeting needs BlackHole or Loopback and says so. The KDE-only labels
around them were already wrong on GNOME, and now name whichever desktop
is there.

Which pair of tools a session uses was being asked inside copy(), read(),
copy_bytes() and press(), four times, in a conditional each. A third desktop
means a third branch in each of them, and macOS is already open as a pull
request doing exactly that in a different style.
Wayland and X11 are two entries at the top of the file now, each naming its
programs and how to build a key press from them. The functions below take
whichever entry the session gets. Adding a desktop is an entry and a line in
desktop(), and it touches nothing else.
Two things fall out of it. The key press is checked against the same table on
both: xdotool was being handed the shortcut as typed, so ctrl+f13 was refused
on Wayland and passed through on X11. And a missing tool names the package to
install again, which the shared message had dropped.
The tests say the promises once and run them against both desktops, so a third
one inherits the list rather than needing a copy of it.
The screenshots were downscaled to 430 px wide, which made the UI text
blurry. Restore them at native 1292 px as lossless WebP, which is also
half the size of the original PNGs (72 KB against 155 KB for the largest).
Rewrite every em dash in prose, comments, docstrings and interface strings
as ordinary punctuation.
Ctrl+Space starts and stops a recording. The audio goes to OpenAI for
transcription, a model on OpenRouter strips the fillers and restores
punctuation, and the result is copied and pasted into the focused window.
Only the Python standard library and PyQt6 — HTTP, multipart uploads and
WAV writing are all hand-rolled.
- pw-record captures raw 16 kHz mono PCM with a live level meter
- the corner indicator is drawn through XWayland, since a Wayland client
cannot position its own window
- silence is caught before it costs an API call, relative to each
recording's own noise floor, plus a filter for the stock phrases models
invent when handed silence
- audio and video files can be transcribed too, optionally with [mm:ss]
timestamps, chunked through ffmpeg for long inputs
- global shortcut installs as a KDE custom shortcut, with an evdev
listener as a fallback until the session is restarted
- Turkish and English interface, following the system locale by default
