Please add a setting to change the macOS Dictate hotkey from the fixed Fn key to a custom key combination.

Right now (MacOS app v 2.01), pressing and holding Fn starts dictation, which conflicts with macOS forward-delete (Fn + Delete) and can insert speech into the wrong text field.
Alternatively, I would like to be able to simply turn Dictate off.
This issue is sufficiently bothersome that I may cancel my Heidi subscription and use one of your competitors.

Shreyank from Heidi

Hello Al Pacifico -- Shrey from the Heidi Product team here 👋
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're actively working on giving all users the ability to remap or disable the dictation shortcut, so you're not locked into the Fn/Globe key. That improvement is on our roadmap and we're working to get it into your hands as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if the conflict is too obstructive to your workflow, you can temporarily turn dictation while we resolve this issue (view screenshot below):
Open Heidi
Go to Settings → Defaults → Dictation
Toggle off "Dictate with a shortcut"
This will stop Heidi from listening for the Fn key at all, so forward-delete will work normally again. You won't lose any other Heidi functionality — just the dictation shortcut, which you can turn back on whenever you'd like.
We're sorry for the friction this has caused, and we appreciate your patience.
