codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Require Double Escape to Stop a Running Turn in the IDE Extension [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a double Esc key press requirement to prevent accidental interruption of running turns in the Codex IDE extension.

Guidance

• Modify the key press event handler to track the number of consecutive Esc key presses and only stop the running turn on the second press.
• Display a warning message above the composer after the first Esc key press, indicating that another press is required to stop the turn.
• Consider implementing a queue to store prompts that are entered while a turn is running, and only process them when the user explicitly sends them or returns to the previous turn.
• Ensure that the warning message is cleared after the second Esc key press or when the user takes another action.

Example

let escPressCount = 0;
// ...

// Key press event handler
if (keyPressed === 'Esc') {
  escPressCount++;
  if (escPressCount === 1) {
    // Display warning message
    showWarning('Press `Esc` again to stop the running turn.');
  } else if (escPressCount === 2) {
    // Stop the running turn
    stopTurn();
    escPressCount = 0;
    // Clear warning message
    hideWarning();
  }
}

Notes

This implementation assumes that the Codex IDE extension has access to the necessary DOM elements and event handlers to display the warning message and track key presses.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the double Esc key press requirement to prevent accidental interruption of running turns, as it provides a simple and effective solution to the problem.
