Double-tap Fn or Right Control to open Grok Bot and start dictation
Opening the bot app and hitting dictation every time breaks your flow.
What hurt
John (@johnp0401) had his bot write a Karabiner-Elements complex modification for macOS: double-tap Fn/globe or Right Control opens the Grok Bot app, then sends Cmd+1 and Cmd+D so Primary Bot dictation starts. He posted the JSON and said to tell your bot to read the post and install it for you. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
One complex modification: double-tap → open app → focus Primary → dictation.

Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/johnp0401/status/2110874635600584978 (credit @johnp0401).
- 2Install Karabiner-Elements on your Mac if you don't have it.
- 3Ask your bot to read the source post and add the complex modification.
- 4Double-tap Fn or Right Control and confirm the app opens into dictation.
- 5Tweak the delay parameters in Karabiner if the double-tap feels slow or too eager.
Approval fence
You install Karabiner yourself and confirm the JSON before it writes to disk.
What to tweak
Steal the double-tap path. Let the bot install from the source post.
