How to record a voice using a hotkey?

Help
1

I found the voice recording function itself, but it is not in the hotkeys. It would be very convenient to press R and start recording immediately

This should be possible. Goto Settings → Configure Keyboard Shortcuts → type “show re” → add a shortcut.
Click on an audio track, hit the shortcut and press the space bar → recording will start.

Hint: You can switch off the countdown: Goto settings → Configure Kdenlive → Capture → click on the Audio tab → tick “disable countdown before recording”.

Thanks for this method! A little addition:
To stop recording press ESC (SPACEBAR will pause it)
SPACEBAR can be used for playing the clip if you hide record controls.

  1. Start recording at some position by pressing “Show Record Controls” hotkey, then SPACE
  2. Stop recording by pressing ESC
  3. If you want to listen, press “Show Record Controls” hotkey again to hide the controls, SPACE will act as playback

My keyboard shortcuts for reference
Q/E - rewind/forward by 1 frame
W - cut clip

Z/C - rewind/forward by 1 sec
X - Show Record Controls

S - Select Clip
D - Delete Selected Item
A - Remove Space
