What feature would you like to see?
Currently, Ctrl+B works as moving cursor backword; that's would be great if Ctrl+F works too.
Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E works too.

Are you using the Codex CLI or IDE Extension? And are you talking about the prompt input box?
Yes. IDE Extension and prompt input box.
This behavior appears to be a limitation of VS Code. The Codex IDE extension is implemented as a VS Code Web View, and it does some odd things with certain keyboard combinations. For example, I've filed this bug in the VS Code issue tracker.
This feature request hasn't received any upvotes, so I'm going to close it.

Although this was closed, I’d still find this feature very useful in practice.
I’d appreciate it if it could be reconsidered in the future.
