[Future] Ctrl+R keyboard shortcut for audio recording (pending Plugin API support)

[dotnetspark]

Context

The user requested Ctrl+R to trigger audio recording. Mal investigated and found this NOT FEASIBLE with the current Plugin API:

• Plugin API has no keypress hooks
• MCP server stdin is exclusively owned by JSON-RPC transport
• Companion process approach is too fragile for production

Current state

Audio recording uses /record, /stop, /cancel slash commands.

What needs to happen for Ctrl+R to work

GitHub would need to add native keyboard event hooks to the Copilot CLI Plugin API. When that happens, wiring Ctrl+R → /record becomes straightforward.
