Cmd/Ctrl keyboard remap on macOS breaks paste in Codex CLI input

Component

Codex CLI

Version

codex-cli 0.142.2

Environment

• macOS 15.7.4, build 24G517
• Apple Silicon arm64
• Terminal: VS Code integrated terminal
• macOS keyboard modifier keys are remapped so Control and Command are swapped

Description

When macOS modifier keys are swapped so the physical Control key acts as Command, pressing Ctrl+V to paste into the Codex CLI composer does not paste clipboard contents.

Instead, the input box receives the literal character v.

Expected behavior

Because macOS treats the remapped physical Ctrl+V as Cmd+V, Codex CLI should paste the clipboard contents into the input composer.

Actual behavior

Only v is inserted into the input box.

Reproduction steps

1. On macOS, open System Settings and swap the Control and Command modifier keys.
2. Start Codex CLI with codex.
3. Copy text to the clipboard.
4. Focus the Codex CLI input composer.
5. Press the physical Ctrl+V key combination, which macOS maps to Cmd+V.

Notes

This may indicate the TUI is reading raw terminal key events without honoring macOS modifier remapping, or it is handling Ctrl+V before the terminal/OS paste mapping is applied.
