What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
When attempting to log in using an API key that contains the letter Q, the Codex CLI does not allow entering the full key.
Pressing Q immediately exits and interrupts the login input, as if the CLI is treating it as a "quit" hotkey.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Paste an API key with letter Q.
What is the expected behavior?
