Push-to-Talk: Seamless Integration with Wayland, X11, PulseAudio & PipeWire

Fork of cyrinux/push2talk but removes xkbcommon because it doesnt support F13+ function keys

🥅 Quick Start

Upon initialization, the application mutes all microphones. To unmute, press F10, and release to mute again.

  • Suspend/resume functionality available via SIGUSR1.

⚠️ Prerequisites

Install depends

sudo dnf install rust-libudev-devel rust-input-devel

Setup UDEV rule

Get Vendor ID of input device via lsusb (should be in the format <vendorid>:<productid>)

lsusb

Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/60-push2talk.rules replace <vendorid> with the ID from lsusb

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="<vendorid>", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

Reload udev rules

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
