Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
App macOS Version: 26.908.70816
What feature would you like to see?
Please add a keyboard shortcut for deleting the currently selected or open conversation in the macOS app.
Currently, deleting a conversation requires using the mouse or trackpad to open the conversation menu and select Delete. This interrupts keyboard-driven navigation.
A shortcut such as ⌘⇧⌫ could trigger the existing delete action for the selected conversation. The existing confirmation dialog should still appear before the conversation is permanently deleted.
Additional information
It would also be useful to expose the Delete Conversation action in the macOS menu bar.
That would make the command discoverable and would allow users to assign or customize the shortcut through System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → App Shortcuts.
The app already supports keyboard-focused navigation such as ⌘K, so adding a delete shortcut would make conversation management more consistent and reduce the need to switch between the keyboard and mouse.

Research direction
First verify that the macOS app is implemented in this repository, since the repository is described as a terminal coding agent. Locate the existing conversation Delete action and the keyboard navigation entry point, then determine how macOS menu-bar commands are defined. Done means the selected or open conversation can invoke the existing confirmation flow from a shortcut and a discoverable menu action.
