## Why Vim mode currently supports some normal-mode operators and motions, but common text-object combinations like `ciw`, `daw`, `di(`, and quote/bracket variants are still missing. That makes the composer feel incomplete for users who expect operator + text object editing to work inside prompts. Closes #21383. ## What Changed - Add Vim pending-state support for operator/text-object sequences. - Add `c` as a normal-mode operator for text objects, so combinations like `ciw` delete the object and enter insert mode. - Support word, WORD, delimiter, and quote text objects: - `iw`, `aw`, `iW`, `aW` - `i(`, `a(`, `i)`, `a)`, `ib`, `ab` - `i[`, `a[`, `i]`, `a]` - `i{`, `a{`, `i}`, `a}`, `iB`, `aB` - `i"`, `a"`, `i'`, `a'`, `i\``, `a\`` - Add configurable keymap entries and keymap picker coverage for the new Vim text-object context. - Regenerate the config schema and update keymap picker snapshots. ## How to Test Manual smoke test: 1. Start Codex with Vim composer mode enabled. 2. Type a draft such as: ```text alpha beta gamma call(foo[bar], {"x": "hello world"}) say "one \"two\" three" now ``` 3. Put the cursor on `beta`, press `ciw`, and confirm `beta` is removed and the composer enters insert mode. 4. Escape back to normal mode, put the cursor on `gamma`, press `daw`, and confirm `gamma` plus surrounding whitespace is removed. 5. Put the cursor inside `foo[bar]`, press `di[`, and confirm only `bar` is removed. 6. Put the cursor inside `call(...)`, press `da(`, and confirm the whole parenthesized section is removed. 7. Put the cursor inside the quoted text, press `ci"`, and confirm the quote contents are removed and insert mode starts. 8. Verify cancellation does not edit text: press `d` then `Esc`, and press `d` then `i` then `Esc`. Targeted tests: - `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib vim_` - `cargo nextest run -p codex-tui keymap_setup::tests` Additional local checks: - `just write-config-schema` - `just fmt` - `just fix -p codex-tui` - `git diff --check` - `cargo insta pending-snapshots --manifest-path tui/Cargo.toml` Local full-suite note: `just test -p codex-tui` ran to completion. The keymap snapshot failures were expected and accepted. Two unrelated guardian feature-flag tests still fail locally: - `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default` - `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history` `just argument-comment-lint` is currently blocked locally by Bazel analysis before the lint runs because `compiler-rt` has an empty `include/sanitizer/*.h` glob in the local Bazel cache. The touched Rust diff was manually inspected for opaque positional literals.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
