## Summary - Increases `PASTE_BURST_CHAR_INTERVAL` from 8ms to 30ms on Windows to fix multi-line paste issues in VS Code integrated terminal - Follows existing pattern of platform-specific timing (like `PASTE_BURST_ACTIVE_IDLE_TIMEOUT`) ## Problem When pasting multi-line text in Codex CLI on Windows (especially VS Code integrated terminal), only the first portion is captured before auto-submit. The rest arrives as a separate message. **Root cause**: VS Code's terminal emulation adds latency (~10-15ms per character) between key events. The 8ms `PASTE_BURST_CHAR_INTERVAL` threshold is too tight - characters arrive slower than expected, so burst detection fails and Enter submits instead of inserting a newline. ## Solution Use Windows-specific timing (30ms) for `PASTE_BURST_CHAR_INTERVAL`, following the same pattern already used for `PASTE_BURST_ACTIVE_IDLE_TIMEOUT` (60ms on Windows vs 8ms on Unix). 30ms is still fast enough to distinguish paste from typing (humans type ~200ms between keystrokes). ## Test plan - [x] All existing paste_burst tests pass - [ ] Test multi-line paste in VS Code integrated PowerShell on Windows - [ ] Test multi-line paste in standalone Windows PowerShell - [ ] Verify no regression on macOS/Linux Fixes #2137 Co-authored-by: Josh McKinney <joshka@openai.com>
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 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.
