What variant of Codex are you using?

IDE Extension

What feature would you like to see?

The Codex IDE extension currently shows a CodeLens action for TODO comments, such as “Implement with Codex”.

I would like the same workflow to support FIXME comments as well, ideally with wording such as “Fix with Codex” or a similar action that starts a Codex thread from the FIXME comment.

FIXME is a common convention in projects for known bugs, broken behavior, or intentionally deferred fixes. In those cases the comment is often directly actionable, and the existing TODO CodeLens flow seems like a natural fit.

A minimal version could reuse the existing chatgpt.commentCodeLensEnabled setting and detect both TODO and FIXME comments. If editor noise is a concern, a future version could make the recognized keywords configurable.

Additional information

I searched existing issues for similar requests using terms such as FIXME CodeLens, commentCodeLens, “Implement with Codex”, and TODO FIXME, but didn't find an existing feature request for FIXME support.
