Windows app: Add a setting to expand command output by default
Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 18, 2026 by mrTyom
What feature would you like to see?
Please add a persistent setting in the Codex Windows app to automatically expand the full output of every command in a thread.
Currently, command output cards are collapsed and each one must be clicked manually to inspect the detailed output. A setting such as Settings > General > Command output > Expanded/Full would make command-heavy sessions much easier to follow.
Current behavior
- Command output is collapsed by default.
- Detailed output must be expanded separately for every command.
- Settings > General has no command-output display preference.
- There does not appear to be a corresponding
config.tomloption.
Expected behavior
Provide a global preference to choose the default command-output state, for example:
- Collapsed
- Expanded
- Remember last choice
Environment
- Codex app for Windows
- App version:
26.616.3309.0 - Windows-native agent
- PowerShell terminal
- UI language: Russian
The public Codex app settings documentation says users can choose “how much command output appears in threads,” but this control is not present in the current Windows settings UI.
