i wish codex had a chat button that was untied to a project, like more normal chatgpt. i want to ask normal questions to codex but keep going to chatgpt web because something feels off if it's unrelated or needs more websearch? otherwise model jumps into grep/code/slowness? idk

oh i'm dumb, this already exists, i just didn't see it all the way below my projects! maybe UI nit to make it more easy to find

also i tried to find it by clicking out of my project, but i didn't notice the 'dont work in a new project' button at the bottom. a better icon might help?

would promote this a bit as people use codex as daily driver
