What feature would you like to see?
The terminal allows one to 'tab' to queue and 'return' to interrupt with steering turned on. Please allow this in the desktop app as I use both regularly within the same session.

Looks like they added this.
When queue is set to default:

When steer is set to default:

I'm fine with not reserving the tab key for this feature on account of tab being more important for accessibility uses.
Was this removed when the unified ChatGPT app replaced the Codex app? I'm not seeing it anymore.
