What issue are you seeing?
The Appshots feature cannot be used on my current Codex Desktop build.
In Settings > Appshots, the Appshots feature is visible and the configured hotkey is pressing both Command keys simultaneously. However, every time I press the hotkey, Codex appears to hang/pause for a short time and then shows this red toast:
Unable to attach appshot
No appshot is attached to the current conversation.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Codex Desktop on macOS.
- Go to Settings > Appshots and confirm the Appshots hotkey is configured.
- Bring another app/window to the front.
- Press both Command keys simultaneously.
- Wait for the attempted capture to finish.
Expected behavior
Codex should capture and attach an appshot of the frontmost window, including the relevant visual/text context.
Actual behavior
Codex pauses/hangs briefly, then fails with:
Unable to attach appshot
The appshot is not attached.
Additional information
This may be related to previous Appshots / Computer Use failures such as #28622 and #29101, but this report is for the newer Codex Desktop build 26.616.81150 on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 with Apple Silicon.
