What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Please add support for using Kitty as the external terminal from the Codex Desktop App.
Ideally the app would either detect Kitty automatically or let users configure an external terminal command, e.g.:
kitty --working-directory {cwd}
Additional information
This would make the desktop app fit better for users whose normal development workflow is centered around Kitty.
