Codex Micro: add chat scrolling as a knob mode

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jul 23, 2026 by kfelternv Closed Jul 27, 2026

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex desktop app with Codex Micro on macOS. App version: 26.715.72359.

What feature would you like to see?

Add a third Chat scrolling option under Settings > Codex Micro > Knob, alongside the current Reasoning only and Composer navigation modes.

When this mode is selected:

  • Turning the knob clockwise scrolls down within the active chat transcript.
  • Turning the knob counterclockwise scrolls up within the active chat transcript.
  • The behavior remains scoped to the active Codex chat rather than scrolling another application or a system-level target.
  • It works while the composer is focused and while a response is streaming.

This would make the knob useful for navigating long agent runs, command output, and review discussions without reaching for a mouse or trackpad.

Additional information

A small, consistent scroll increment per encoder detent would provide predictable navigation. This request does not require changing the existing reasoning or composer-navigation modes.
