Hardcoded Cmd+Cmd Shortcut Conflicts with Other Apps

Summary
Codex's computer use feature uses a hardcoded Cmd+Cmd shortcut, which conflicts with other applications that rely on the same shortcut — for example, Perplexity Personal Computer.
Problem
Because the Cmd+Cmd shortcut is hardcoded, users who run Codex's computer use feature alongside other apps that also bind Cmd+Cmd experience a conflict. Only one app can effectively respond to the shortcut, forcing users to choose between tools or work around the collision.
Request
Please make the Cmd+Cmd shortcut configurable (e.g., allow users to remap or disable it) so it can coexist with other apps and avoid conflicts.
Environment
- Feature: Codex computer use
- Conflicting app example: Perplexity Personal Computer
- OS: macOS
