I mean Ctrl+C is the default keybind for cancelling running programs in most terminals, so it's not that far-fetched 🤷

yeah but this is a flatpak and i cannot change it

and it doesnt even matter because doing ctrl r again stops the recording :trolley:

Oh right, it does say Toggle, not Start! As a dev who likes thinking about frontend design, that is an interesting thing to observe -- Technically, the label is perfectly clear in what it does, but a lot of people won't exactly read it that way, especially since the context of having a dedicated Cancel shortcut under it implies that the top shortcut is just for starting the recording.
The fix would probably be to label the top shortcut as "Start/Stop Recording" 🤔

Think of how you would copy a text. Don't know what software this is but seems like a stupid default key bindings.

See my best guess was CTRL+C stopping the process like on a command line.

idk

Wow. That's dumber than rocks

Ctrl + shift + R maybe?

Some tools intercept hot keys. I.e. it would just work.

Being able to cancel with Ctrl break also is... Something... I am sure(cmd)
