Add shortcut to toggle line comments
What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Add a keyboard shortcut to quickly comment and uncomment selected lines in the editor, similar to the behavior available in editors such as VS Code.
Currently, there does not appear to be a shortcut for toggling line comments in the Codex app editor. This makes a very common coding action slower, especially when temporarily disabling code or commenting multiple selected lines.
Most code editors provide a standard shortcut for this action, for example:
Ctrl + /on Linux/WindowsCmd + /on macOS
Additional information
When one or more lines are selected, pressing the shortcut should toggle line comments using the appropriate comment syntax for the current language.
Examples:
// const foo = "bar";# foo = "bar"Pressing the shortcut again should uncomment the same lines.
Support a Toggle Line Comment command in the editor, ideally with:
Ctrl + /as the default shortcut on Linux/WindowsCmd + /as the default shortcut on macOS- Support for commenting multiple selected lines
- Language-aware comment syntax
- Ability to customize the keybinding if configurable shortcuts are supported
Commenting and uncommenting code is a frequent editor operation, and supporting the conventional shortcut would make the Codex app feel more consistent with other development environments such as VS Code and reduce friction when editing code.
