Description

I was wondering if there is a feature that I can press space bar, for example, to start and stop recording the audio input from my microphone in the streaming feature rather than it do automatic speech recognition. Thanks!

Research direction
Investigate the current streaming implementation in whisper.cpp, particularly the stream example (e.g., examples/stream/stream.cpp). Understand how audio input is processed and how to add a keybinding (e.g., space bar) to toggle recording. Look at how the app currently captures audio and whether there is an existing event loop. You may need to add platform specific keyboard listening code. Check the existing comments for any additional requirements or preferences from the maintainer.
