What variant of Codex are you using?
IDE Extension (Cursor, macOS)
What feature would you like to see?
When I select a word in a Codex response, it'd be great to have a Look Up action that shows a short dictionary definition inline or in a small popover. Currently, looking up an unfamiliar word means switching to a browser and searching there. Desired flow is:
- Select a word in Codex response
- Right-click and choose “Look Up”
- Read definition without leaving Cursor
