macOS: Cmd+Q no longer shows a confirmation dialog before quitting
What version of the Codex App are you using?
Latest macOS build available as of July 14, 2026. Exact build number was not captured.
What platform is your computer?
macOS (Apple Silicon)
What issue are you seeing?
Pressing Cmd+Q now quits the Codex app immediately without showing the confirmation alert that previous versions displayed.
This appears to be a regression. Codex often runs long-lived tasks, so an accidental Cmd+Q can interrupt active work with no opportunity to cancel the quit action.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex app on macOS.
- Start or open any task.
- Press
Cmd+Q. - Observe that the app exits immediately.
What is the expected behavior?
Codex should show a confirmation dialog before quitting, as it did previously. Alternatively, there should be a user setting such as Confirm before quitting.
What do you see instead?
The app quits immediately with no warning.
Additional information
This is particularly risky while an agent is running or when queued follow-up messages exist. Even if task state can later be restored, an accidental quit unnecessarily interrupts the session and may discard transient UI state.
