| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
llm_background_ptt_combo | ctrl+alt+a | Talk with an agent, with optional selected text as context. |
tts_background_combo | ctrl+alt+r | Read the selected text aloud. |
stt_and_paste_background_ptt_combo | ctrl+alt+s | Transcribe speech and paste it at the cursor. |
llm_background_reset | ctrl+q | Stop the speech; twice resets the conversation. |
On startup the daemon grabs all four shortcuts. If any is already taken by another
application (some desktops bind ctrl+q or ctrl+alt combinations,
for example) the daemon does not start, and vtmate --daemon lists the taken
shortcuts so you can change them. On Windows, ctrl+alt is the same as
AltGr on some keyboard layouts - rebind those if the daemon reports them as
taken.
