What issue are you seeing?

it is impossible to use default bonded keys in Macos version of Codex-Cli: "OPT+," and "OPT+." (quick reasoning regulation keys).

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019e7eb6-cd2a-7ca3-8b59-8a56eccc8b31

What is the expected behavior?

keys "OPT+," and "OPT+" should quick regulate reasoning.

Additional information

it is impossible to use default bonded keys in Macos version of Codex-Cli: "OPT+," and "OPT+." (quick reasoning regulation keys).

because Macos's Terminal already binds these keys to its own actions (depends on Language layout).

so we are tolking about all default settings (default settings of Macos and its Terminal or/and default settings of Codex-CLI).

please change default bindings in Macos's Codex-CLI instead of "OPT+," and "OPT+." (quick reasoning regulation keys) into something else. thanks!

it's only Macos' specific issue! in Linux for example we do not have this problem (all works fine there with "ALT+," and "ALT+.").
