Question 1

How can I open the settings panel?

You can open settings from the menu bar icon, by pressing Command + Comma (⌘ + ,) when Superwhisper is active in Dock, from the mini recording window context menu, or via the deep link superwhisper://settings.

Question 2

Can I customize keyboard shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Superwhisper allows each shortcut to be modified in the Keyboard Shortcuts section to avoid conflicts with other applications and better fit your workflow.

Question 3

How does the Cancel Recording shortcut behave?

Accepted Answer

For recordings under 30 seconds, cancel works immediately. For longer recordings, Superwhisper shows a confirmation prompt. After recording is complete and processing starts, cancel only hides the recording window.

Use your configured Change Mode shortcut, then hold modifier keys and tap the assigned key to cycle through modes. You can change mode before or during dictation.

Question 5

How do Push-to-Talk and Mouse Shortcut work?

Accepted Answer

Push-to-Talk records while pressed and stops when released. Mouse Shortcut supports quick click for toggle recording and press-and-hold for push-to-talk, depending on mouse hardware support.
