## Why Granular copy is particularly difficult with the current output. Part of it was solved with the introduction of the `/copy` command but when you only need to copy parts of a response, you still encounter some issues: - When you copy a paragraph, the result is a sequence of separate lines instead of one correctly joined paragraph. - When a word wraps, part of it stays on the original line and the rest appears at the start of the next line. - When you copy a long command, extra line breaks are often inserted, and command arguments can be split across multiple lines. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ef85c84-9363-4aad-b43a-15fce062a443 ## Solution Now that we own the scrollback and we re-create it when we resize, we have the opportunity of toggling between the raw text and the rich text we see today. - Add TUI raw scrollback mode with `tui.raw_output_mode`, `/raw [on|off]`, and the configurable `tui.keymap.global.toggle_raw_output` action. - Render transcript cells through rich/raw-aware paths so raw mode preserves source text and lets the terminal soft-wrap selection-friendly output. - Bind raw-mode toggle to `alt-r` by default, with the keybinding path toggling silently while `/raw` continues to emit confirmation messages. ## Related Issues Likely addressed by raw mode: - #12200: clean copy for multiline and soft-wrapped output. Raw mode removes Codex-inserted wrapping/indentation and lets the terminal soft-wrap logical lines. - #9252: command suggestions gain unwanted leading spaces when copied. Raw mode renders transcript text without the rich-mode left padding/gutter. - #8258: prompt output is hard to copy because of leading indentation. Raw mode renders user/source-backed transcript text without that decorative indentation. Partially or conditionally addressed: - #2880: copy/export message as Markdown. Raw mode exposes raw Markdown for terminal selection, but this PR does not add a dedicated export/copy-message command. - #19820: mouse drag selection + copy in the TUI. Raw mode improves terminal-native selection of output/history text, but this PR does not implement in-TUI mouse selection, highlighting, auto-copy, or composer selection. - #18979: copied content is divided into two parts. This should improve cases caused by Codex-inserted wraps/padding in rendered output; if the report is about pasting into the composer/input path, that remains outside this PR. ## Validation - `just write-config-schema` - `just fmt` - `cargo test -p codex-config` - `cargo test -p codex-tui` - `just fix -p codex-tui` - `just argument-comment-lint` - `cargo test -p codex-tui raw_output_mode_can_change_without_inserting_notice -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-tui raw_slash_command_toggles_and_accepts_on_off_args -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-tui raw_output_toggle -- --nocapture` - `git diff --check` - `cargo insta pending-snapshots`
