Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

Desktop App

What feature would you like to see?

The Codex desktop app supports codex://settings/... deep links, but only a small subset of Settings sections seem to be recognized.

For example, codex://settings/hooks-settings opens General instead of Hooks, even though Hooks is available through ⌘⇧P-> “Settings: Hooks”

Ideally, every visible Settings section should have a working deep link. Or, at least, unsupported links should not silently fall back to General.

Codex version: 26.818.61809 (build 7019)
Platform: macOS

Research direction

Start by locating the desktop app's handling for codex://settings/... links and compare it with the Settings: Hooks command reached through ⌘⇧P. Check how hooks-settings and the other visible Settings sections are mapped, then verify that each opens its matching section and that unsupported links no longer silently open General.
