What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.217.1959 (669)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The "Quick Switcher", toggled by the shortcut CMD-k, is missing from the macOS Menu Bar. Specifically, the View menu from which it is invoked.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  • Open Codex.app on macOS
  • Ensure Codex app is the active application by checking the Menu Bar for "Codex" in bold font
  • Use the keyboard to press and hold the Command (CMD) key
  • While holding the Command (CMD) key, press and release "k"
  • Notice the "Quick Switcher" feature is present and has been invoked
  • Also Notice the brief flash on the macOS Menu Bar indicating the invocation was through the "View" Menu
  • Move your cursor to the macOS menu bar, specifically over the "View" Menu Button.
  • Click and release the "View" Menu Button to open the "View" Menu.
  • Notice that there are many commands listed.
  • Notice that there is no listing with for a command registered to CMD-k

What is the expected behavior?

It is expected that any keyboard shortcuts implemented by a macOS application be properly registered, including a listing within the appropriate menu (such as the "View", or "Edit" menus) of the macOS Menu Bar.

Meeting this expected behavior would

  • Improve user experience
  • Increase discoverability of features
  • Improve developer experience
  • Reduce erroneous "missing feature" reports from users
  • Improve compliance and Reduce Risk
  • Increase the accessibility, or A11y, of the App
  • Meet system-wide macOS user expectations for "keyboard shortcuts"
