## Why Users have asked to queue follow-up slash commands while a task is running, including in #14081, #14588, #14286, and #13779. The previous TUI behavior validated slash commands immediately, so commands that are only meaningful once the current turn is idle could not be queued consistently. The queue should preserve what the user typed and defer command parsing until the item is actually dispatched. This also gives `/fast`, `/review ...`, `/rename ...`, `/model`, `/permissions`, and similar slash workflows the same FIFO behavior as plain queued prompts. ## What Changed - Added a queued-input action enum so queued items can be dispatched as plain prompts, slash commands, or user shell commands. - Changed `Tab` queueing to accept slash-led prompts without validating them up front, then parse and dispatch them when dequeued. - Added `!` shell-command queueing for `Tab` while a task is running, while preserving existing `Enter` behavior for immediate shell execution. - Moved queued slash dispatch through shared slash-command parsing so inline commands, unavailable commands, unknown commands, and local config commands report at dequeue time. - Continued queue draining after local-only actions and after slash menu cancellation or selection when no task is running. - Preserved slash-popup completion behavior so `/mo<Tab>` completes to `/model ` instead of queueing the prefix. - Updated pending-input preview snapshots to show queued follow-up inputs. ## Verification I did a bunch of manual validation (and found and fixed a few bugs along the way).
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.
