## 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`
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.
