Open the original- What it measures
- The Mode Switching section of the community wiki's basic usage page. Mixed mode is the setting that lets you dictate prose and run commands in the same session.
- What it does not show
- A community wiki page, undated. Mixed mode can misread a word that happens to match a command, so check the output before you send it.
