Verbatim mode
Verbatim mode is a dictation setting where the output is exactly what you said, with no rewording, tone adjustment, or cleanup beyond basic recognition. It exists because some text must survive intact.
The classic cases are shell commands, code, legal quotes, and anything where a helpful rewrite is a bug: "git log dash dash oneline" must become git log --oneline and nothing else. Dictation tools with a formatting layer need a way to switch it off, ideally automatically by context.
The strongest implementations bind verbatim behavior to the application: terminals and editors always verbatim, prose apps formatted, without the user toggling anything.
In Flit
Flit is always verbatim in terminals and editors, automatically, and never rewords a command.
