Problem
When running the Rust Codex CLI in its own TUI (alternate screen) mode:

  • PageUp/PageDown do nothing (need it for the output logs) - I figured out it works after Tab
  • Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End don’t jump to top/bottom (need it for the output logs)
  • Drag-and-drop on the vertical scroll-bar is ignored
  • Copying multi-line blocks always includes the box-drawing borders (may need a --no-borders flag)
  • Multiline prompt clipboard paste is ignored, only first line is captured and immediately executed (only Windows build)

Same problem! Cannot scroll to see the history, which makes it unusable.

Same problem for me. I like the performance of new TUI but cannot scroll to review. Hope someone fix it soon

Closing this as most/all of these have since been resolved. Just make sure to keep Codex up to date!
