Feature request: Focus-aware, customizable shortcuts for switching side-panel tabs

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex desktop app on macOS.

What feature would you like to see?

Please add an option to switch side-panel tabs with Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 when keyboard focus is inside the side panel, including an embedded browser page or its address bar.

The shortcuts should select tabs by their visible left-to-right order. This should apply to the side panel's tab strip, rather than switching chats in the main sidebar.

Please also expose these actions in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts so users can assign their own hotkeys:

• Switch to side-panel tab 1–9
• Switch to the next side-panel tab
• Switch to the previous side-panel tab

Why would this be useful?

I frequently switch between multiple tabs in the side panel. In a normal browser, I use Cmd+number to jump directly to a specific tab. Having to reach for the mouse in Codex interrupts that workflow.

Suggested behavior

• Make focus-aware Cmd+number navigation optional, preserving the existing default behavior for users who prefer it.
• When enabled and focus is inside the side panel, route these shortcuts to that panel's tabs.
• When focus is outside the side panel, preserve the existing chat-navigation shortcuts.
• Keep the shortcuts working when an embedded browser page or its address bar has focus.
• Allow custom bindings for direct tab selection and next/previous tab navigation.

The key request is a keyboard-only way to navigate side-panel tabs, with shortcut behavior that follows the focused panel.

Start by tracing the existing chat-navigation shortcuts and the Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts actions, then inspect side-panel tab focus behavior, including the embedded browser page and address bar. Done means optional focus-aware Cmd+number switching, next/previous tab bindings, and preserved main-sidebar behavior when focus is outside the side panel.
