Uh oh!

According to the manual:
To me, that looks inconsistent.
When you want to mute the volume, you use the right click. Your brain automatically does a mapping: "right click" = "mute".
Then, I would expect the same thing to happen when I do right click on the microphone. Instead of doing nothing (which is the current behavior), it could mute it, even if that means the same action occurs with the left and the right click.
We could stop there, and with that we would have gained a little bit of consistency.
If we want to continue going further we could remove the mute action on the left click of the microphone. The reason being, if the left click on the volume does not mute the volume, why does the left click on the microphone mutes the microphone?
I know that this may be a controversial change because it's a "breaking change". Some people may already have muscle memory and go for left click on the microphone without thinking, and it would be annoying if you change that.
If we want to continue going further, we could move the "audio panel" from the "middle click" to "left click" on the microphone. That way the same thing would happen when you do "left click" on both the volume and the microphone.
It is another breaking change, but I doubt someone is actually opening the audio panel with the middle click on the microphone, when you can just do left click on the volume.
Anyway, I was reading the Omarchy manual and I came across to that part and thought that it could be improved. I don't even use Omarchy yet, although I plan to start using it soon.
Thanks for reading it.
