codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix VS Code Codex extension on macOS breaks native Cmd+` window cycling when focus is in the Codex pane [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be worked around by adding a custom keybinding in VS Code to handle the `Cmd+`` shortcut when focus is inside the Codex pane.

Guidance

• The problem seems to be related to the Codex pane not handling the native `Cmd+`` shortcut correctly, which is usually used for window cycling in macOS.
• To verify the issue, follow the provided reproduction steps and check the keyboard shortcuts troubleshooting logs in VS Code.
• A potential workaround is to add a manual keybinding for cmd+[IntlBackslash] to workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow, but note that this will only open the quick window picker, not exactly replicating the native macOS behavior.
• Investigate if there are any existing keybindings or settings in the Codex extension that could be interfering with the native shortcut.

Example

No specific code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and keybindings rather than code.

Notes

The provided workaround may not perfectly replicate the native macOS window cycling behavior, and the ideal solution would be for the Codex pane to handle the `Cmd+`` shortcut natively.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add a custom keybinding for cmd+[IntlBackslash] to a command that closely matches the desired window cycling behavior, acknowledging that it may not be a perfect solution.
