Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13638 ## Why VS Code's integrated terminal can run a Linux shell through WSL without exposing `TERM_PROGRAM` to the Linux process, and with crossterm keyboard enhancement flags enabled that environment can turn dead-key composition into malformed key events instead of composed Unicode input. Codex already handles composed Unicode correctly, so the fix is to avoid enabling the terminal mode that breaks this path for the affected terminal combination. ## What Changed - Automatically skip crossterm keyboard enhancement flags when Codex detects WSL plus VS Code, including a Windows-side `TERM_PROGRAM` probe through WSL interop. - Add `CODEX_TUI_DISABLE_KEYBOARD_ENHANCEMENT` so users can force-disable or force-enable the keyboard enhancement policy for diagnosis. ## Verification - Added unit coverage for env parsing, VS Code detection, and the WSL/VS Code auto-disable policy. - `cargo check -p codex-tui` passed. - `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.py -p codex-tui -- --tests` passed. - `cargo test -p codex-tui` was attempted locally, but the checkout failed during linking before tests executed because V8 symbols from `codex-code-mode` were unresolved for `arm64`.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
