## Why Picker-style UI in the TUI has accumulated a mix of hardcoded navigation keys. Some lists supported page movement, some did not; some accepted Vim-like keys, while others only accepted arrows; and tabbed or horizontally adjustable pickers had no shared keymap action for left/right movement. This PR makes picker/list navigation consistent and configurable so users can rely on the same defaults across the TUI. ## What Changed - Adds shared list keymap actions for: - vertical movement: `move_up`, `move_down` - horizontal movement: `move_left`, `move_right` - paging and jumps: `page_up`, `page_down`, `jump_top`, `jump_bottom` - Adds defaults: - Up/down: arrows, `Ctrl+P/N`, `Ctrl+K/J`, and plain `k/j` where text input is not active - Page up/down: `PageUp/PageDown` and `Ctrl+B/F` - First/last: `Home/End` - Left/right: `Left/Right` and `Ctrl+H/L` - Wires the shared list keymap through picker and list surfaces including session resume, multi-select, tabbed selection lists, settings-style lists, app-link selection, MCP elicitation, request-user-input, and the OSS selection wizard. - Keeps search behavior intact by reserving printable characters for query text in searchable pickers. - Updates keymap setup actions, config schema, snapshots, and focused coverage for the new list actions. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex from this branch and open the session picker, for example with an existing session history. 2. In the session list, verify that `Ctrl+J/K` moves the selection down/up. 3. Verify that `Ctrl+F/B` pages down/up and `Home/End` jumps to the first/last visible session. 4. Type printable search text such as `j` or `k` and confirm it updates the query instead of navigating. 5. Focus a picker control that changes values horizontally, such as a session picker toolbar control, and verify `Ctrl+H/L` changes the focused value like left/right arrows. Targeted tests run: - `cargo test -p codex-tui keymap::tests::` - `cargo test -p codex-tui keymap_setup::tests::` - `cargo test -p codex-tui horizontal_list_keys` - `cargo test -p codex-tui page_and_jump_navigation_use_list_keymap` - `cargo test -p codex-tui ctrl_h_l_move_provider_selection` - `cargo test -p codex-tui scroll_state::tests` - `cargo test -p codex-tui switching_tabs_changes_visible_items_and_clears_search` - `cargo test -p codex-tui toggle_sort_key_reloads_with_new_sort` Also ran `just write-config-schema`, `just fmt`, `just fix -p codex-tui`, `just argument-comment-lint`, and `git diff --check`. Note: `cargo test -p codex-tui` was attempted and still aborts in the pre-existing `tests::fork_last_filters_latest_session_by_cwd_unless_show_all` stack overflow, which is unrelated to this branch.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
