codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Chat tabs (alt+number to switch between them) [3 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a feature to switch between multiple input fields using keybinds like alt+1, alt+2, etc., would allow users to efficiently manage multiple prompts.

Guidance

• Consider adding a tabbed interface to the input field, where each tab can hold a separate prompt, and keybinds can be used to switch between them.
• Implementing a keyboard shortcut to create a new input tab, such as alt+shift+n, could also be useful for quickly creating new prompts.
• To manage multiple prompts, a user interface element, such as a tab list or a prompt switcher, would be necessary to display the available prompts and allow users to switch between them.
• When switching between prompts, the current input field contents should be preserved, allowing users to pick up where they left off.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details.

Notes

The proposed feature would require significant changes to the existing Codex interface and functionality, and may have implications for user experience and workflow.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a tabbed interface or a prompt switcher to manage multiple input fields, as this would provide the desired functionality and improve user experience.
