What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

I would like to be able to reference directories using "@" and have autocomplete like exists in cursor, claude code and mostly everything else.

Specially useful for large monorepos (IMO)

Thanks

not having this is infuriating, why wouldn't others upvote. there's another feature request here https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/8863
so simple little things they just won't do.

This feature request hasn't received enough upvotes, so I'm closing it.

Received a notification and I thought it's crazy that you are closing it as not planned, because I randomly find out the other day that it was already implemented lol.

@v3i1y, yes you're correct :)! I was doing an automated clean-up of stale feature requests.
