fix: custom prompt expansion with large pastes (#7154)
### **Summary of Changes**

**What?**
Fix for slash commands (e.g., /prompts:code-review) not being recognized
when large content (>3000 chars) is pasted.
[Bug Report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/7047)
**Why?**
With large pastes, slash commands were ignored, so custom prompts
weren't expanded and were submitted as literal text.

**How?**
Refactored the early return block in handle_key_event_without_popup
(lines 957-968).
Instead of returning early after replacing placeholders, the code now
replaces placeholders in the textarea and continues to the normal
submission flow.
This reuses the existing slash command detection and custom prompt
expansion logic (lines 981-1047), avoiding duplication.

**Changes:**
Modified codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs: refactored early
return block to continue to normal flow instead of returning immediately
Added test: custom_prompt_with_large_paste_expands_correctly to verify
the fix

**Code Quality:**
No lint warnings
Code follows existing patterns and reuses existing logic

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex

Codex CLI splash


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager. If you use npm:

npm install -g @openai/codex

Alternatively, if you use Homebrew:

brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started:

codex

If you're running into upgrade issues with Homebrew, see the FAQ entry on brew upgrade codex.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
