// The Codex loop

Every Codex session is the same loop. VibeKeys gives it a control surface.

Prompt, wait, review the change, approve or steer — repeat. That loop runs hundreds of times a day. VibeKeys puts each step under a dedicated key, your voice, and a knob, so you stop reaching for shortcuts and stay in flow.

CUSTOM

Run /review

Fire a one-key Codex code review. The custom key sends /review and Enter for you.

YOLO

Approve

Send y to approve Codex's pending command or change and keep moving.

VOICE

Speak the prompt

Describe the change out loud instead of typing it. The built-in mic captures it and feeds the text in.

ESC

Interrupt

Stop Codex mid-run or drop the pending input the moment you want to steer.

KNOB

Scroll the output

Move through Codex's long responses, plans, and diffs with tactile precision.

STATUS

Read Codex's state

The Max screen shows Codex's live session status at a glance.

// One command switches tools

Set your keypad up for Codex — in one command.

A profile is a preset you apply with a single command. vibekeys profile codex maps the keys to the Codex moves; vibekeys profile claude switches back. Both touch only two keys, so it's a clean round-trip — nothing else moves.

// FAQ

Common questions about using VibeKeys with Codex.

Does VibeKeys work with OpenAI Codex?

Yes. Run vibekeys profile codex and the keypad is set up for Codex: the custom key fires /review for a one-key code review, and the YOLO key sends y to approve. VibeKeys works alongside your main keyboard.

Can I switch between Codex and Claude Code?

Yes, in one command. vibekeys profile codex sets the keypad up for Codex; vibekeys profile claude switches it back. Both profiles change only two keys, so switching is a clean round-trip and no other keys move.

Can I use voice input with Codex?

Yes. VibeKeys Max has a built-in microphone. Press the mic key and speak; your speech is transcribed and dropped into your prompt, so you can describe a change instead of typing it.

Does VibeKeys show Codex's status?

Yes. With the VibeKeys plugin installed, Codex session events are pushed to the Max status screen, so you can see what Codex is doing without watching the terminal.

Which AI coding tools does VibeKeys work with?

VibeKeys is tool-agnostic — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot and more. One keypad for the tools you already use.

Do I need to replace my keyboard?

No. VibeKeys sits next to your main keyboard and handles the repeated Codex controls — review, approve, voice — that shouldn't be buried in shortcuts.

Can I remap the keys?

Yes. The firmware is open source and the keys are remappable. Profiles like codex and claude are just presets applied with one command; you can bind any key to the action you use most.

// Put it on your desk

Give Codex a physical interface.

One key for /review, one key to approve, your voice for the prompt — and one command to switch between Codex and Claude Code. Read the command reference to set it up.
