## Why Fixes #20264. Side conversations are an ephemeral layer on top of the main chat. Pressing `Ctrl+D` from an empty side-chat composer should unwind back to the parent thread, matching the existing side-return behavior, instead of falling through to the global quit shortcut and exiting Codex. ## What changed The side-return shortcut matcher now treats `Ctrl+D` the same way it already treats `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`. Because app-level side-return handling runs before the chat widget's global quit handling, this returns from `/side` while preserving normal `Ctrl+D` quit behavior outside side conversations. The existing shortcut coverage was updated to include lowercase and uppercase `Ctrl+D` key events. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-tui side_return_shortcuts_match_esc_ctrl_c_and_ctrl_d` - `cargo test -p codex-tui` starts successfully and the new shortcut test passes, but the broader suite later aborts in the unrelated existing test `app::tests::attach_live_thread_for_selection_rejects_unmaterialized_fallback_threads` with a stack overflow.
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.
