Codex App cannot set shortcut to Option+Space on macOS #18544

Description

@marlkiller

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

版本26.415.40636 (1799)

What subscription do you have?

Free

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I cannot set the Codex App keyboard shortcut to Option+Space on macOS.

When I try to assign Option+Space in the app settings, the shortcut does not take effect / gets reset. Other shortcuts may work, but Option+Space specifically does not.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex App on macOS.
  2. Go to shortcut / keyboard shortcut settings.
  3. Try to set the shortcut to Option+Space.
  4. Save or apply the setting.
  5. Attempt to trigger the shortcut.

What is the expected behavior?

Option+Space should be accepted as a valid shortcut and should trigger Codex App normally after being assigned.

Additional information

  • This may be related to a macOS-level shortcut conflict, input source shortcut, or the app's keybinding handling for Option+Space.
  • Please let me know if there is a known limitation for Option+Space on macOS.
  • I can provide logs or test additional builds if needed.
