+Each press toggles between recording and idle.
+
+### Push-to-talk (hold-to-record)
+
+Combine both bind types to get hold-to-record behavior — press to start, release to stop:
+
+```bash
+# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+bind  = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle   # key down → start recording
+bindr = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle    # key up   → stop and transcribe
+```
+
+This gives a walkie-talkie feel: hold the key while speaking, release when done. The daemon receives two `toggle` commands — the first starts recording, the second stops it and triggers transcription.
+
+### `bind` vs `bindr`
+
+| Keyword | Fires on |
+|---------|----------|
+| `bind` | Key **press** (down) |
+| `bindr` | Key **release** (up) |
+
+With `bindr`, modifier keys (SUPER, CTRL, etc.) are fully released before the command executes. This can prevent modifiers from interfering with text injection.

+## Hyprland Keybinding Patterns
+
+Hyprvoice is triggered via Hyprland keybindings. The bind type you choose affects reliability and workflow.
+
+### Simple toggle
+
+```bash
+# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+bind = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle
+```
+
+Each press toggles between recording and idle.
+
+### Push-to-talk (hold-to-record)
+
+Pair `bind` (press) with `bindr` (release) on the same key for hold-to-record:
+
+```bash
+# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+bind  = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle   # key down → start recording
+bindr = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle    # key up   → stop and transcribe
+```
+
+Hold the key while speaking, release when done. Both lines send `toggle` to the daemon — the first starts the pipeline, the second stops it. Because the stop fires on release, modifiers are clean for injection.
+
+### `bind` vs `bindr`
+
+| Keyword | Fires on |
+|---------|----------|
+| `bind` | Key **press** (down) |
+| `bindr` | Key **release** (up) |

+With `bindr`, modifier keys (SUPER, CTRL, etc.) are fully released before the command executes. This can prevent modifiers from interfering with text injection.

 ## Unified Provider System
 
 Hyprvoice uses a unified provider system where API keys are configured once and shared between transcription and LLM features:
