Goland code selection detection support

[priyanshu219]

I have observed that in latest codex version there is support of /ide command which helps in detection of selected code in Cursor or VS code.

Is there a way to replicate this behavior in Goland.

Claude do it via a plugin.

There are two separate things here:

1. The Codex IDE extension for VS Code-compatible editors
2. The Codex CLI/TUI /ide command

The /ide command is not just reading the system clipboard or asking the editor for text directly. It depends on an IDE integration providing Codex with editor context: active file, selected range/content, open tabs, etc. That is why it works with VS Code-compatible editors such as VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

For GoLand specifically, I do not think there is a config-only way to make the CLI /ide command detect GoLand selection today. GoLand is a JetBrains IDE, so the closest supported path is to install the Codex JetBrains IDE integration and use Codex inside GoLand/JetBrains directly, if your setup has access to that integration.

So the current answer is roughly:

• VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf: use the Codex IDE extension, /ide, and auto context.
• GoLand/JetBrains: use the Codex JetBrains integration if available.
• Codex CLI /ide + GoLand selection detection: not currently exposed as a generic plugin/API flow, as far as I can tell.

Workarounds:

Select the code in GoLand, copy it, and paste it into the Codex prompt.

or reference the file/range explicitly:

Look at internal/foo/bar.go, especially the function around lines 120-180, and explain/fix it.

or attach files manually from Codex:

Use @internal/foo/bar.go and focus on the handler function.

The feature request I would file is:

Please expose JetBrains/GoLand editor context to Codex the same way VS Code-compatible editors expose active file, selected range, selected text, and open tabs, so the CLI `/ide` command or the JetBrains integration can use the current GoLand selection automatically.

So: possible through a proper JetBrains integration, but not currently something you can reproduce in GoLand with only Codex CLI configuration.
