codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Run shell command without deleting prompt [1 participants]

TL;DR

Allowing the execution of bang commands at any time, not just before writing the prompt, could simplify the workflow when using the CLI variant of Codex.

Guidance

• Consider modifying the current implementation to accept bang commands at any point during the prompt editing process.
• Investigate if there are existing shortcuts or features in the CLI that could be leveraged to simplify the process of running shell commands without having to copy, delete, and paste the prompt.
• Evaluate the potential impact of introducing this feature on the overall user experience and workflow.
• Look into whether other users have requested similar functionality to gauge the demand for this feature.

Notes

The feasibility of implementing this feature may depend on the underlying architecture of the Codex CLI and how it handles user input and bang commands.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Until a native solution is available, users could explore using external tools or scripts to manage their workflow more efficiently, such as using a separate terminal window for running shell commands or finding a text editor that supports running commands directly.
