I am using Codex CLI to help me navigate throw the code, without syntax highlight, I still want to open VS Code.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

Cursor CLI also has some nice syntax highlighting.

That's right, Codex appearance looks raw, hopefully Codex have styling beautiful as Claude's code with elegant textbox, responses, and syntax highlighting

After switching to GPT-5.1, the model's responses have become extremely long, which has resulted in very poor readability. Looking at the plan makes my eyes hurt.

Oofa, just started using Codex CLI and yeah... this was a disappointment.
