Summary
Renaming a session in VSCode Codex Chat is currently difficult and takes too many steps.
Why this matters
It’s hard to quickly give context to work-in-progress threads, especially when several sessions are open. The current flow feels hidden/slow and interrupts chat flow.
Expected behavior
- Make session rename easily discoverable from session list.
- Support quick inline rename (one-click / keyboard-friendly).
- Optionally preserve current title-edit path, but add a faster path with keyboard and/or command palette support.
- Optionally allow temporary "Rename session" action in the same dropdown as close/archive/delete.
Repro (current)
- Open VSCode Codex Chat.
- Attempt to rename a session.
- Navigate through nested/contextual actions to rename.
- Confirm it takes longer than expected and is hard to discover.
If helpful, please treat this as a UX improvement with keyboard support as a first-class path.
