A KDE Plasma 6 applet (panel icon) to toggle [voxtype](https://voxtype.io) voice typing on and off.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
[voxtype](https://voxtype.io) must be installed and its daemon running. The applet reads state from `/run/user/1000/voxtype/state` and checks for the daemon via `/run/user/1000/voxtype/pid` — the same locations used by the voxtype GNOME extension.
|
|
|
|
## What this does
|
|
|
|
- Shows a panel icon reflecting the current voxtype state.
|
|
- Click to toggle recording on/off (sends `voxtype record toggle` when the daemon is running).
|
|
- Polls the state file periodically to update the icon and tooltip.
|
|
- Icons change by state: idle, recording, transcribing, or not-running.
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
|
|
### Nix Flake + Home Manager
|
|
|
|
Add the flake to your `flake.nix` inputs:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
voxtype-toggle = {
|
|
url = "https://git.eversole.co/James/voxtype-toggle-plasmashell.git";
|
|
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then pass it through `extraSpecialArgs` and install the applet into `xdg.dataFile`:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
voxtype-toggle,
|
|
system,
|
|
# ... other args
|
|
}:
|
|
|
|
# In extraSpecialArgs:
|
|
extraSpecialArgs = { inherit voxtype-toggle system; };
|
|
|
|
# In your home-manager module:
|
|
xdg.dataFile."plasma/plasmoids/org.eversole.voxtype-toggle" = {
|
|
source = "${voxtype-toggle.packages.${system}.plasmaAppletVoxtypeToggle}/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.eversole.voxtype-toggle";
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This copies the applet files to the standard KDE Plasma applet directory (`~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/`) so the applet is available immediately after `home-manager switch` — no manual symlink or copy step needed.
