What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

I hate to be difficult but I much preferred seeing the true % context used in the status bar. Could we get a setting to switch it back to the true % instead of a bar? I do the same on my iPhone.

Additional information

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user is requesting a setting to display the true percentage context in the status bar instead of a bar.

Guidance

  • Review the existing settings or configuration options for the CLI to see if there's already a way to toggle the display of percentage context.
  • Consider adding a feature request to the development roadmap to include a setting for switching between the bar and true percentage display.
  • Investigate if there are any existing command-line flags or options that could be used to customize the status bar display.
  • Reach out to the development team to discuss the feasibility of implementing this feature.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details, so it's difficult to provide a more specific solution. The guidance provided is based on the user's request and may not be applicable to the current version of the CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since there is no clear indication that this feature is currently available, it's recommended to reach out to the development team to discuss potential workarounds or future implementation.
