What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.715.52143

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Quick Chat is available while the left sidebar is expanded but completely disappears when the sidebar is collapsed.

With the sidebar expanded:

  • Quick Chat appears in the command palette.
  • Its keyboard shortcut/keybinding is available and works.

After collapsing the sidebar:

  • Quick Chat no longer appears in the command palette.
  • Its keyboard shortcut no longer works.

Expanding the sidebar immediately makes the command and shortcut available again. This is consistent

I assume this means a global application command is incorrectly dependent on the visibility or mounted state of the sidebar

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open the Codex desktop app
  2. Leave the left sidebar expanded
  3. Open the command palette and search for “Quick Chat"
  4. Confirm that the Quick Chat action is present
  5. Trigger its keyboard shortcut and confirm that it works
  6. Collapse the left sidebar
  7. Open the command palette and search for “Quick Chat” again
  8. Observe that the action is completely absent
  9. Trigger the same keyboard shortcut
  10. Observe that nothing happens
  11. Expand the sidebar again
  12. Observe that Quick Chat returns to the command palette and the shortcut works again

What is the expected behavior?

Quick Chat should remain globally registered and invokable regardless of whether the sidebar is expanded, collapsed, hidden, or visible.

Collapsing a navigation panel should not remove the command from the command palette or disable/unregister its keyboard shortcut.

Additional information

Related to #33731 but not the same reproduction.

It reports that the Quick Chat sidebar entry is missing after an app update
