What variant of Codex are you using?

VS Code extension

What feature would you like to see?

Automatic would be best, on the open-source framework I work with, accounts switch automatically. We need this in the extension too.

I reckon we have a quick switch in the Codex app, but we need it for the extension too, and an automatic account switch would be best.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing an automatic account switch feature in the VS Code extension is likely the most effective solution.

Guidance

  • Review the existing quick switch functionality in the Codex app to understand its implementation and potential adaptability to the VS Code extension.
  • Investigate the open-source framework's automatic account switching mechanism for inspiration or potential integration with the Codex extension.
  • Consider adding a feature request to the Codex extension's development tracker to formally propose the implementation of automatic account switching.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of creating a custom extension or plugin to achieve automatic account switching until an official solution is available.

Notes

The lack of technical details about the Codex extension and the open-source framework limits the specificity of the guidance provided.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a custom extension or plugin may provide a temporary solution until the official Codex extension supports automatic account switching.
