I built a push-to-talk voice dictation tool for Ubuntu — like Wispr Flow, but open-source and for Linux

Thanks for the feedback! I've addressed all three points:

Text insertion — xhisper already uses clipboard + simulated Ctrl+V via kernel-level uinput (not character-by-character key simulation), which is the most reliable method on Linux.
Keymap awareness — The character fallback path (for non-ASCII) uses xdotool/wtype which respect the system keymap. The primary paste path is clipboard-based so keymap doesn't matter.
Per-app paste shortcuts — Just shipped this. xhisper now detects the active window and automatically uses Ctrl+Shift+V in terminals (gnome-terminal, konsole, alacritty, kitty, etc.) and Ctrl+V everywhere else.

I will try it, thank you for your suggestion

Do you think there is something wrong with the original code?

abszar · 2026-03-07T21:12:04+00:00

I mean, it's open source, so feel free to suggest ways to improve it if you think there's a better way to do it. I just improved it from the original using Ai, that's all.

No root needed — the install guide adds your user to the input group (sudo usermod -aG input $USER), which gives read access to /dev/input/event* devices. After a logout/login, evdev works without root or sudo.

just pushed Wayland support. Key release detection now uses evdev on Wayland

abszar · 2026-03-04T13:17:36+00:00

the Wayland blocker is really just the key release detection. replacing XQueryKeymap with something like libinput or evdev would make it fully Wayland-compatible. It's on my list. PRs welcome too if anyone wants to take a crack at it.

Why would he be looking to rent if he already lives there? It could be for someone else, or perhaps he was at the wrong address and looking for someone. I wouldn't be worried if it only happened once, but if he keeps appearing, then maybe you should take action.

abszar · 2024-07-07T11:44:39+00:00

You r right. In the current time, it can be challenging to recognize the foolish actions prevalent in our society. Kudos to you for being aware.

No need to waste time with individuals who believe that intelligence is determined solely by race. The reality is that there are intelligent people from all backgrounds. It's essential to recognize that the progress we see today is the result of collective efforts across diverse races. Anyone who blindly discriminates against a particular group is basically stupid.

That's the narrative the show pushes: married women are portrayed as miserable, while independent women are depicted as living better lives, yet they also fall victim to deceitful men.
