Maps to the standard HID Consumer page 'Voice Command' usage (0x0CF), which macOS (Sonoma and later) and iPadOS interpret as Dictation. Added as a media/consumer keycode at 0x00C3, appending to the end of the existing consumer range with no keycode shifting required.

This could be handled just as well as a community module. Eg: |

I looked at the module route but selfishly wanted this change in core so that downstream forks like via/vial could add it. It's a standard HID code, not custom behavior. It's also appended at the end of the consumer range so there are no shifts required. Also it's consistent with the other core keycodes: I can close it out if you disagree! |

@ankitsxchdeva agree on this one, this is a standard mac button. so it does make sense to have it as a core part, if it IS is in fact a stock button on a major patform (MacOS) and not just an edge case on some custom device. |
