## Key changes

- Footer tips wrap at tip boundaries (no truncation mid‑tip); footer
height scales to wrapped tips.
- Keep tooltip text as Esc: interrupt in all states.
- Make the full Tab: add notes tip cyan/bold when applicable; hide notes
UI by default.
- Notes toggling/backspace:
- Tab opens notes when an option is selected; Tab again clears notes and
hides the notes UI.
    - Backspace in options clears the current selection.
    - Backspace in empty notes closes notes and returns to options.
- Selection/answering behavior:
- Option questions highlight a default option but are not answered until
Enter.
- Enter no longer auto‑selects when there’s no selection (prevents
accidental answers).
    - Notes submission can commit the selected option when present.
- Freeform questions require Enter with non‑empty text to mark answered;
drafts are not submitted unless committed.
- Unanswered cues:
    - Skipped option questions count as unanswered.
    - Unanswered question titles are highlighted for visibility.
- Typing/navigation in options:
    - Typing no longer opens notes; notes are Tab‑only.
- j/k move option selection; h/l switch questions (Ctrl+n/Ctrl+p still
work).

## Tests

- Added unit coverage for:
    - tip‑level wrapping
    - focus reset when switching questions with existing drafts
    - backspace clearing selection
    - backspace closing empty notes
    - typing in options does not open notes
    - freeform draft submission gating
    - h/l question navigation in options
- Updated snapshots, including narrow footer wrap.

## Why

These changes make the ask‑user‑question overlay:

- safer (no silent auto‑selection or accidental freeform submission),
- clearer (tips wrap cleanly and unanswered states stand out),
- more ergonomic (Tab explicitly controls notes; backspace acts like
undo/close).

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
