codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Keyboard shortcut to toggle terminal no longer hides it (regression)

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

26.527.31326

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

macOS Version 26.5 (25F71)

What issue are you seeing?

The keyboard shortcut to toggle the terminal panel (background terminal) is broken. Previously, pressing the shortcut would both open and hide the terminal panel — it was a true toggle.

Currently, the shortcut still works to open the terminal panel, but pressing it again does NOT hide the terminal. The only way to close it is by clicking the close button manually.

This is a regression. The toggle-to-hide behavior worked correctly in earlier versions but has stopped working in this version.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open the Codex Desktop App on macOS.
2. Use the keyboard shortcut to open the terminal panel (background terminal). The terminal appears as expected.
3. Press the same keyboard shortcut again while the terminal is open.
4. The terminal does NOT hide/close. It remains visible on screen.
5. The only way to close the terminal is by manually clicking the close button on the terminal panel.

What is the expected behavior?

The keyboard shortcut should act as a toggle:

• If the terminal panel is closed, pressing the shortcut should open it.
• If the terminal panel is already open, pressing the same shortcut again should hide/close it immediately.

This was the previous behavior and should be restored.
