Hello, I want to submit a usability complaint and feature request for the Codex VS Code extension.
The current thread list is very hard to use because thread titles are auto-generated by first phrase and often too vague. After a few sessions, it becomes difficult to understand what each thread is actually about. This makes navigation and context switching unnecessarily slow.
In practice, I need a way to manually rename threads so I can give them clear project-specific names such as:
- my-project-1
- my-project-2
- my-project-1-infra
Right now, in the VS Code extension, I cannot find any exposed way to rename a thread. This is a major usability gap.
Please add:
- Rename Thread in the thread context menu
- Rename Thread in the command palette
- inline title editing in the sidebar
- optional automatic naming based on workspace/repo name
This would make the extension much easier to use in real multi-project workflows.
Thank you.
