codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Select all (Cmd+A) in prompt box also selects all of the current file [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be fixed by modifying the keyboard shortcut handling in the Codex extension to prevent it from selecting all text in the currently open file when CMD+A is pressed in the prompt box.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is specific to the Codex extension by checking if the behavior occurs with other extensions disabled.
• Check the extension's settings or documentation to see if there are any options to configure keyboard shortcut behavior.
• If the issue is confirmed to be a regression, consider rolling back to a previous version of the extension to see if the issue is resolved.
• Test the issue with a different keyboard shortcut, such as CMD+Shift+A, to see if the behavior is specific to CMD+A.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to the behavior of the Codex extension and not a code-specific problem.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of the Codex extension, VS Code, and the Darwin platform, so testing on other platforms or with different extensions may not reproduce the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user may need to use a different keyboard shortcut or modify their workflow to avoid using CMD+A in the prompt box until a fix is available.
