What feature would you like to see?
Suggestions for Codex
- Add a Scrollbar
- Currently, there is no visible scrollbar, which makes navigation inconvenient.
- Users are forced to scroll with the mouse wheel, which is inefficient, especially when reviewing longer conversations.
- Message Minimization/Expansion
- Long messages are displayed in full, which clutters the interface.
- Provide the option to collapse long messages with a “Show More” / “Expand” button.
- This would allow users to focus on context without excessive scrolling.
- Edit Previous Messages (if technically possible)
- Allow users to go back and edit previously sent messages.
- This would help correct mistakes without needing to retype or re-send everything.
- Additional Action Buttons for Outputs
- Add extra buttons on generated messages, such as:
- Retry: re-run the last input.
- Regenerate: request a different variation of the response.
- This would save time compared to manually re-prompting.
- Prompt Enhancer in the Typing Bar
- Add an optional feature inside the typing box (or next to it) called Prompt Enhancer.
- This tool would automatically make prompts clearer and more understandable for the AI.
- It would also let users re-read and refine their input, highlighting areas that might confuse the AI.
- This would improve both AI responses and the user’s ability to craft better prompts over time.

Mean while I use my own prompt distiller - https://github.com/anfedoro/prompt_distil.git.. pretty much anough for me right now. Yo may try..Just it project indexing support Python only.. no justification/motivation to move to treesitter for other languages support.
depends on the model, reasoning and verbosity are configurable
Here is an example how it works
Hey there, thanks for the suggestions! Could you file each as a separate issue so we can track them better? Closing for now.
