codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: add setting to control command/tool output folding [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Adding a global preference to control command/tool output folding in Codex Desktop could simplify debugging workflows.

Guidance

• Introduce a new setting, such as "Always expand command/tool outputs", to allow users to control the default behavior of execution blocks.
• Consider adding an option to remember the user's last expand/collapse choice per conversation to further enhance usability.
• Ensure that the existing per-block expand/collapse controls remain available to provide flexibility.
• Evaluate the potential impact on performance when automatically expanding large command/tool outputs.

Notes

The proposed solution focuses on Codex Desktop command/tool execution blocks and does not affect code diff folding.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce the suggested global preference and optional per-conversation memory feature to enhance user experience during debugging sessions.
