Tutorial:

I press Copilot key and talk.  I release Copilot key.  Text is then pasted into terminal, browser or text editor etc.  Even the Voxtype  icon works on the waybar while active.  The default keys to press are super+ctrl+x and I thought it was easier using just a 'one key' press.  I also added a remap of the capslock key for escape/super+shift.  Delete that part if you don't want it.

How to:
1) install 'keyd' with..
sudo pacman -S keyd

2) open terminal and..
sudo nvim /etc/keyd/default.conf

3) paste this text and save file

[main]
# Map the Windows Copilot key combo to F13
f23+leftshift+leftmeta = f13

# If you don't have a Copilot key (or use laptop + external keyboard)
rightcontrol = f13

#-------------- delete this small section if you don't want 'capslock' remapped --------------
# Remap Capslock key - tap = Esc, hold = Super+Shift
capslock = overload(supershift, esc)

[supershift:M-S]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[meta]
shift = layer(meta)

4) in terminal do..
sudo systemctl enable --now keyd

5) in ~/.config/voxtype/config.toml add this to the [hotkey] section..
enabled = true
key = "F13"

6) in terminal do..
sudo keyd reload
and then do..
systemctl --user restart voxtype

Pressing the 'Copilot' key should work!  For the waybar icon, continue..

7) this is for the waybar..
add this to config.jsonc..
"modules-left": ["custom/voxtype"],
and..
"custom/voxtype": {
    "exec": "omarchy-voxtype-status",
    "return-type": "json",
    "format": "{icon}",
    "format-icons": {
      "idle": "󰍬",
      "recording": "󰍬",
      "transcribing": "󰔟"
    },
    "tooltip": true,
    "on-click-right": "omarchy-voxtype-config",
    "on-click": "omarchy-voxtype-model"
  },

in the style.css file add this..
#custom-voxtype {
  min-width: 12px;
  margin: 0 7.5px;
  font-size: 14px;
}

#custom-voxtype.recording {
  color: #a55555;
  font-size: 14px;
}

Enjoy!
