I'm sorry for the low quality comment, but man, get some perspective.


> low quality comment

What else do you want me to say? It's ironic that one has to jump through hoops (like this post) to get basic functionality right in a tool that claims it'll replace software engineers.


Perspective is: how hard can it possibly be? It’s a TUI. This should be able to run on a calculator.

Am I missing some complexity here?


It’s really hard, because they’re trying to use a hammer as a hacksaw. It was simply made with ridiculous technology choices.


I think you described 99% of commercial software :)


Well it's for profit company and a closed code app. How cares about "hurting their feeling" or whatever? Harsh criticism seems perfectly appropriate here...


This seems stupid but after evaluating Claude vs Codex, this problem alone made me pick Codex.

If I cannot follow what the thing is doing the tool becomes useless and expensive.

I use Kitty + zellij, I love TUIs and use them all over the place, this is the only tool I know with this issue.
