Root Cause

  • Multiple Codex threads can finish or ask for input while I am working in another thread.
  • The unread / waiting-for-user indicator is useful, but locating the newest unread thread still requires scanning the sidebar manually.
  • Recent-thread navigation is not enough because the thread that needs attention next may not be the most recently viewed thread.

Code Example

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

When running multiple Codex App threads in parallel, I rely on unread / waiting-for-user indicators to know which thread needs attention next. Today, I can switch between recent threads with existing navigation shortcuts, but I do not see a command that jumps directly to the latest unread thread.

Please add a command such as Open latest unread thread or Jump to latest unread thread, available from the command palette / Keyboard Shortcuts. It should be possible to bind this command to a shortcut.

Problem:

  • Multiple Codex threads can finish or ask for input while I am working in another thread.
  • The unread / waiting-for-user indicator is useful, but locating the newest unread thread still requires scanning the sidebar manually.
  • Recent-thread navigation is not enough because the thread that needs attention next may not be the most recently viewed thread.

Proposed behavior:

  • A command opens the latest unread / waiting-for-user thread in the current Codex App window.
  • If no unread thread exists, the command should do nothing or show a lightweight "No unread threads" message.
  • The command should be bindable in Keyboard Shortcuts.

Why this matters:

This makes parallel Codex workflows easier to manage. When several agents are running at once, the user needs a fast way to jump to the next thread requiring attention without visually scanning the sidebar.

Related but distinct issues:

  • #14597 requests a recent-thread quick switcher.
  • #10459, #13115, and #14452 discuss unread-state behavior.
  • This request is specifically for navigation to the latest unread / waiting-for-user thread.

Additional information

Codex App version: 26.513.20950 (2816)

Platform:

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

I checked the current Keyboard Shortcuts list and did not see an existing command for jumping to the latest unread thread.
