Push-to-Talk on Mac With a Mouse Button: The 30-Second Setup That Fixed My Dictation Habit

For months I kept promising myself I would use voice dictation more. On paper it is faster than typing for long-form. In practice I never reached for it, because the keyboard hotkey always landed in the wrong hand at the wrong moment. Somewhere between clicking a link and starting to talk, the momentum was gone.

The fix, when I finally tried it, took about 30 seconds. I bound push-to-talk to a side button on my mouse. Now the same hand that just clicked a text field holds down to talk and releases to stop. No shift of grip. No lookup. It is the difference between "I should use dictation" and actually using it.
