+Keyboard shortcuts are so out. Mouse gestures are the move.
+
+I hooked up Double tap and press+hold on my Logitech mouse to my super whisper dictation using Better Touch Tool. Double tap starts/stops recording, and long press records while held then transcribes on release. I also set up thumb button + gesture up/down for volume control. What other mouse gestures do you use?
