What feature would you like to see?

Having to copy/paste full UUIDs for resuming sessions is sometimes needlessly effortful

It would be great to have the option to use tab completion, or as with git/docker, have the ability to specify the first few characters if unique. Otherwise I must always copy/paste which is not always convenient.

Suggestions:

  • "codex resume ." should resume the last session from the current directory
  • support session aliases, so "codex resume myalias" works (eg. /alias myalias)

Some related tickets for improving resume functionality, for reference:
