Root Cause

In Codex TUI, image paste works with Ctrl-V, but Cmd-V does not paste/attach the image. This is confusing on macOS because Cmd-V is the normal paste gesture and works for text paste.

Environment

  • OS: macOS
  • Terminal: iTerm2
  • Clipboard contents: screenshot/image

Current behavior

In Codex TUI, image paste works with Ctrl-V, but Cmd-V does not paste/attach the image. This is confusing on macOS because Cmd-V is the normal paste gesture and works for text paste.

Expected behavior

Codex should make image paste discoverable and ergonomic on macOS, ideally by handling Cmd-V/terminal paste where possible, or showing a hint when the clipboard contains an image and Cmd-V cannot attach it.

Why this matters

Claude Code appears to handle this path more ergonomically, while Codex requires knowing that Ctrl-V is the image paste shortcut.

I’d tag it as an enhancement / CLI / TUI / macOS issue if the chooser lets you.
