Feature request: bind arbitrary prompt text to a keyboard shortcut
Feature request
I'd like Codex to support binding arbitrary reusable prompt text to a keyboard shortcut.
Current workaround
Codex supports reusable workflows through skills, and older custom prompts can be invoked as slash commands. The app also has configurable keyboard shortcuts for built-in commands. What seems missing is a way to bind a custom prompt directly to a key chord.
Desired behavior
Allow a user to define a custom prompt, then assign it a keyboard shortcut from Codex settings. Pressing the shortcut would insert or send that prompt in the current thread composer.
Possible options:
- Insert the prompt text into the composer so the user can edit before sending.
- Send the prompt immediately.
- Support prompt arguments/placeholders if the prompt mechanism already supports them.
Why this matters
Some prompts are repeated many times during day-to-day work, such as review requests, handoff instructions, status summaries, test-and-fix loops, or repo-specific workflows. A direct key binding would make those flows faster than opening slash commands or typing a skill invocation every time.
