What issue are you seeing?

The "Quick Switcher" View fails to dismiss via CMD-k after invoking it with CMD-k.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex.app on macOS
  2. Ensure Codex app is the active application by checking the Menu Bar for "Codex" in bold font
  3. Use the keyboard to press and hold the Command (CMD) key
  4. While holding the Command (CMD) key, press and release "k"
  5. Notice the "Quick Switcher" feature is present as a modal view, and has been invoked
  6. Repeat steps 3-4
  7. Notice the "Quick Switcher" modal view is still present, and has not been dismissed

What is the expected behavior?

It is expected that a modal view presented by a dedicated "toggle" keyboard shortcut be dismissed by that same keyboard shortcut.

Meeting this expected behavior would

  • Improve user experience
  • Streamline App navigation
  • Reduce unnecessary friction for keyboard users
  • Improve compliance and Reduce Risk
  • Increase the accessibility, or A11y, of the App
  • Meet system-wide macOS user expectations for "modal views"
