What variant of Codex are you using?

IDE Extension (VSCode)

What feature would you like to see?

Feature Description

Add a quick icon or button that allows users to instantly select the currently active file in Codex.

Motivation

During development, developers frequently switch between files in the editor. When interacting with Codex, selecting the current file manually can slow down the workflow and interrupt the coding process.

A quick action that automatically selects the file currently open in the editor would significantly improve efficiency and reduce navigation time.

Suggested Implementation

Possible approaches:

  1. Add a toolbar icon in the Codex panel to select the active editor file.
  2. Provide a command in the command palette such as:
    "Codex: Select Current File".
  3. Optionally add a keyboard shortcut.

Expected Benefit

  • Faster workflow
  • Reduced context switching
  • More convenient interaction with Codex during development
