Codex papercuts 📉 Codex adoption 📈

Today’s Codex quality-of-life updates start in settings.

You can now search Codex settings, with results grouped by category, so you can find what you want to change without scanning every section – this makes setup and customization easier.

Side chats now stay visible when you go full screen in the Codex app.

Notifications and unread badges route with the right context, AppShots and voice mode use the active composer, and Escape stops the chat you meant to stop.

Codex now keeps more of your working state across restarts.

Unread indicators, prompt drafts, zoom level, disabled hotkey preferences, archived-section state, and worktree context all come back the way you expect.

More Codex app polish:

— Settings are easier to scan — App chrome and sidebars behave more cleanly — Dock badges point to the right place — Prompt links paste back as structured pills — The composer behaves better in tight panels

@OpenAIDevs Can we have a better way to organize the sidebar? I would love to group my projects/folders. And I also would love to talk with the parent folder about all the children at once

@thsottiaux Tibo, the five hour limit makes it impossible for $200 dollar monthly Pro users to ever hit their Weekly Usage Limit. Meaning we are purchasing more tokens than your machine allows us to use. I'm guessing that OpenAI's configuration is probably illegal under the law.

@OpenAIDevs The best quality of life update would be to give us back 4o, but you don’t listen to your customers do you. You only listen to the bots in your comments. #keep4o

이 오류는 언제 해결되나요? 어떤 신기능을 원하는게 아닙니다. 안정적이고 작동하는 기능을 원합니다

@thsottiaux @Grok If someone purchases 20x higher usage, but they are prevented from using their 20x higher usage, because of 5 hour limits by the same company that sold it to them, then explain how this is a potential major legal issue for @OpenAI? @gdb

@OpenAIDevs I would greatly enjoy it not turning my MacBook into a space heater. That’s my only gripe because it quickly became my preferred way to use AI. If I could use the app but with Pi as the harness running the AI I would die of happiness.

@thsottiaux Tibo Windows app is still so far behind the Mac version. Please let Microsoft get involved to solve the problems in Windows; they need to take responsibility. They have a lot of work to do on the system level.

@OpenAIDevs I often go back to the codex app as a reference for what quality looks like when I build something. Thanks for setting the bar for what we can do with software, this is great stuff.

@OpenAIDevs Search in Codex settings is the kind of update people underrate until setup gets messy. Grouped by category matters too. Scanning every section is fine once, then it becomes pure friction.

@OpenAIDevs Can your support get back to people whose accounts have been suspended???

I've been waiting for two weeks for your "specialist team" to take a look.

@FettyPFranklin @OpenAIDevs GPT-5.5 is 7 weeks old & Opus 4.8 doesn’t even beat it on all benchmarks. They’re in no rush. GPT-5.6 will probably launch in a week or two & rival Mythos.
