Codex Remote: do not cancel file transfers when the cursor moves or Ctrl+Space+Space is pressed

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex Remote

What feature would you like to see?

File transfers in Codex Remote should not be canceled merely because the cursor is moved or the Ctrl + Space + Space shortcut sequence is pressed during the transfer.

Either of these approaches would address the problem:

1. Allow pointer movement during an active transfer without canceling it.
2. Temporarily suppress or ignore Ctrl + Space + Space while a file transfer is active.

Current behavior

While a file transfer is in progress, moving the cursor or using the Ctrl + Space + Space sequence can interrupt and cancel the transfer. This makes it easy to lose a transfer accidentally while continuing to use the computer.

Expected behavior

An in-progress transfer should continue unless the user explicitly cancels it through a clear transfer control. Normal pointer movement and unrelated shortcut input should not abort the transfer.

If a shortcut must be unavailable during a transfer, Codex should ignore it or show a brief explanation rather than canceling the transfer.

Why this matters

Transfers can take long enough that users naturally move the mouse or use keyboard shortcuts. Accidental cancellation wastes time and can require restarting large transfers from the beginning.

Suggested acceptance criteria

• Pointer movement does not cancel an active file transfer.
• Ctrl + Space + Space does not cancel an active file transfer.
• Cancellation remains available through an explicit, discoverable control.
• The behavior is covered for both upload and download transfers, where applicable.

No file or test path is named. Trace Codex Remote’s upload and download transfer lifecycle and the handling of pointer movement and Ctrl+Space+Space to identify where cancellation is triggered. Done means both transfer directions ignore these inputs while preserving an explicit cancellation control, with coverage for the stated acceptance criteria.
