Hey, thanks for the report.

This is an issue we’re tracking, and it isn’t caused by anything in your setup. In Settings > Models, clicking the OpenAI API Key and Override OpenAI Base URL fields does not focus them, so you can’t type or paste with the mouse.

We’ve already merged a fix, and it should go out in an update within the next few days. It is not in the current 3.15.6 build yet. Once you’re on a version newer than 3.15.6, please update and try clicking those fields again.

Until then, you can still edit the fields from the keyboard:

  1. Go to Settings > Models
  2. Turn on the toggle next to the field you need, if it isn’t already on
  3. Click a nearby control in that pane, then press Tab until the API Key or Base URL field is focused
  4. Type or paste the value (Cmd+V on macOS)

Let us know any follow-up questions.
