- hit control key twice
- say ls
- see macos typing "ls"
doesnt work
- open terminal
- start codex

Seems like the dictation feature should work as this works.
it does work if you start the dictation before you start codex
What is the expected behavior?
- open terminal
- start codex
``codex``
- hit control key twice
- say "potato"
- observe potato being typed
What do you see instead?
i see codex doing nothing
