#Voice input

In any chat input, the microphone icon on the right toggles voice mode. Two modes are supported: push-to-talk (hold space while the mic is active) and continuous listening (speak, pause, and wilds detects end-of-turn automatically). Voice transcripts are streamed and shown live. you can edit before sending.

1. Click the microphone icon in any chat bar. Grant browser mic permission the first time.
2. Choose push-to-talk or continuous mode from the voice settings gear.
3. For push-to-talk: hold space and speak. Release to transcribe.
4. For continuous: just speak. Pause for about 800ms to end the turn.
5. Edit the transcript if needed, then hit Send.

#Keyboard navigation

Every button, card, and menu is focusable with Tab, activated with Enter or Space, and escapable with Escape. Arrow keys navigate within lists, grids, and menus. The focus outline is always visible. wilds uses a two-layer outline (teal border + soft teal glow) so it's legible on every theme.

#Gamepad support

Plug in any standard gamepad (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, generic USB/Bluetooth) and wilds detects it automatically. A small toast confirms the connection and the UI switches to gamepad mode: larger focus outlines, auto-scrolling focus, and an on-screen cursor region for menus that need pointer-like navigation.

• D-pad and left stick. move focus between elements.
• A button. activate the focused control.
• B button. cancel, close, go back.
• X button. open the quick action menu in session.
• Y button. toggle voice input.
• Right stick. scroll long content up and down.
• Bumpers (LB / RB). jump between panels — sidebar, content, and other focus sections.
• Start button. open the main menu / pause.

#Touch

On tablets and phones, every control is tap-sized (minimum 44×44px), long-press opens context menus, and swipe gestures work for carousels, sidebar drawers, and quick actions. The mobile top bar auto-hides on scroll so the chat input gets the full screen height.
