What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex App 26.707.41301 (build 5103) on macOS 26.5.2, Apple Silicon.
What feature would you like to see?
Please add a registered Toggle Rich Preview command for the Review and file-diff views, and expose it in both the Command Menu and Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.
When reviewing Markdown changes, I frequently switch between:
- the raw diff, to inspect exact source changes; and
- the rendered Markdown preview, to read the resulting document.
Today, this requires opening the Review options dropdown and clicking Enable rich preview or Disable rich preview every time. That interrupts a keyboard-driven review workflow.
Acceptance criteria:
- One command toggles Rich Preview for the currently viewed Markdown diff.
- The command appears in the Command Menu.
- The command appears in Keyboard Shortcuts and can be assigned a custom shortcut.
- The command state and the existing Enable/Disable rich preview menu item remain synchronized.
- A default shortcut is optional; exposing a bindable command is the important part.
Additional information
This is especially useful for documentation-heavy reviews, where both the rendered result and exact Markdown source changes need to be checked repeatedly. The current workaround is to reopen the Review options menu for every switch.
