Would be great if we could change the names or our tasks for codex ide similar to how we can change chats in chatgpt app.

I’m already seeing several little repos on GitHub devoted to solving this very (obvious) problem. Would appreciate an engineer or two at OpenAI taking a few minuets to fix this one.
this should be a must have funciton , now the chat history is the most valulabe asset when working with AI
I have been waiting so long for this simple feature 
Absolutely, would also be great to be able to Sort them Into Folders/Colors for better overview
Rainer’s Complete Developer Feature Request List (English Version)
- Improved Input Buffering (Two-Buffer System)
Long voice or text inputs cause freezes, white screens, or incomplete messages.
Suggested solution:
Use a two-buffer architecture.
All incoming text goes first into a large text buffer.
The main processing buffer consumes only as many characters as it can safely handle.
After processing, it automatically loads the next section from the text buffer.
This prevents UI freezes and dropped input during long speech-to-text messages.
- “Share to ChatGPT” Improvement (Android)
When sharing images or files from the Android system (“Share to ChatGPT”), a small menu should appear:
Use current chat
Start new chat
This prevents unintended opening of new chats and keeps context intact.
- Pin / Favorite Chats
Allow users to pin chats to the top of the chat list for quick access to important or frequently used conversations.
- Sorting Options for the Chat List
Add the option to sort chats alphabetically (A–Z) based on their assigned titles.
- Scrolling Improvements
Add a visible scroll bar in long chats
Disable auto-scroll-down when the user scrolls up
Add a “Scroll to Top” button (similar to the existing “Scroll to Bottom” button)
- Personal Mini-Databases
Allow users to create simple, separate, text-based personal databases inside ChatGPT (examples: to-do lists, developer lists, pet-care notes, recipes, etc.).
These should:
be standalone
be independently editable
not mix with each other
be accessible directly from the chat interface (like images/files)
- Improved Chat Export
Introduce the ability to export a single chat only, instead of exporting the entire account’s history.
This makes archiving and sharing individual conversations much easier.
- True In-Chat Search (Full Text Search Inside a Single Chat)
This is one of the most important requests.
Feature concept:
Add a search bar inside each chat with:
highlighted search results
Next / Previous navigation buttons
automatic jumping to each match
Technical implementation suggestion:
When the global chat list search is used, the system already indexes chats.
This process should additionally store hit positions for each matching chat:
message IDs
or text offsets
When the user opens that chat, the app can reuse this stored index to let the user jump directly to the exact place in the conversation where the match occurs —
without re-scanning the entire chat.
This makes deep search fast and scalable, even in long conversations.
