What variant of Codex are you using?

App (macOS; Codex and ChatGPT Work/Chat)

What feature would you like to see?

The "Take Screenshot" functionality was taken away in the new Codex and ChatGPT Work/Chat. Please restore it.

The current version of ChatGPT Classic still includes a Take screenshot command in its attachment menu, but the new Codex and ChatGPT Work/Chat interface only offers Add photos & files and no direct screenshot command.

This direct capture workflow is important because it lets users capture the relevant screen, window, or area and attach it without leaving the composer. Its removal adds unnecessary steps: invoke the operating system's screenshot tool separately, save or copy the image, locate it, and manually upload it.

Requested behavior:

  • Restore Take screenshot in the attachment menu for Codex and ChatGPT Work/Chat.
  • Match the behavior that remains available in the current version of ChatGPT Classic, including the screenshot submenu.
  • Attach the captured image directly to the composer so the user can review it before sending.
