Claude Code voice dictation — macOS terminal + Karabiner

Tap right Option in Alacritty or Ghostty to toggle Claude Code voice dictation; speaker output mutes while recording so the mic doesn't catch speaker audio. Escape cancels without submitting.

A bare modifier tap never reaches a terminal app, and voice:pushToTalk takes a single keystroke, so Karabiner converts a solo right-Option tap to Option+z.

Option-as-Alt terminal configuration sends that as Alt+z, which Claude Code has bound to voice:pushToTalk in tap mode — the binding is opt+z because Claude Code sees only the Alt+z

KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover

Some notes about this approach:
- An OSX Installer USB drive for Install OS X El Capitan is created
- Clover is then installed on the USB drive
- Clover Configurator is then run on the USB drive
- The USB drive contents are copied to the VM host
- VNC is used to connect to the guest UI
The qxl virtual video device is used (part of the standard kvm qemu install)

bash-completion:master has fixes for TAB-completion breakage when using shopt -s failglob (helpful with shopt -s dotglob).

$ ls -l bash: no match: words[0]=${!ref}${COMP_WORDS[i]}

Unfortunately, Homebrew's bash-completion will always use version 1.3, pinned because of OSX pinning to bash 3.2.x. Also, the homebrew-version/bash-completion2 package is 2.1, which is very old.

So, let's quickly install bash-completion from source until we have time to fix homebrew.

Ember.Console

This is a set of helpers for finding the application's currently active models/routes/controllers/etc. This isn't a straightforward process because of how Ember (rightly) encapsulates application objects, but it's useful in debugging environments to be able to quickly access them. And with the beta release of Ember Data, the store is not easily accessible without helpers either.

Usage

All helpers can be called directly if you provide them an application instance:
