TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by modifying the hotkey behavior or focus management when the left sidebar is closed.

Guidance

  • Verify that the hotkey bindings for next and previous chat are correctly configured and not overridden when the sidebar is closed.
  • Check if the focus is being correctly transferred to the chat area when the sidebar is closed, allowing the hotkeys to function as expected.
  • Test if the issue persists when using a different method to navigate between chats, such as using the mouse or alternative keyboard shortcuts.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Codex App version 26.429.30905 and the Pro 200 subscription on a Darwin platform. Without further information on the expected behavior, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user may need to use alternative navigation methods or modify their workflow to avoid relying on the hotkeys when the sidebar is closed, until a more permanent fix can be found.
