What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex CLI and enter a conversation.
  2. Press Ctrl+T to open the transcript overlay.
  3. Observe the footer hints:
  • Line 1: "↑/↓ scroll PgUp/PgDn page Home/End jump"
  • Line 2: "q quit Esc edit prev" (and sometimes "⏎ edit message" when selection is active)
  1. While in the overlay, press Ctrl+T again → the overlay closes.
  2. While in the overlay, press Ctrl+C → the overlay closes.

What is the expected behavior?

  • The footer should list all relevant shortcuts available in the overlay, including:
  • Ctrl+T: toggle/close transcript overlay
  • Ctrl+C: quit/close overlay

What do you see instead?

  • The footer only shows "q quit Esc edit prev" (and optionally "⏎ edit message").
  • It does not mention Ctrl+T or Ctrl+C even though both close the overlay.
