Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Unfortunately, Codex doesn’t let me open multiple thread tabs. Whenever I click on a different thread, it closes the current one and navigates to the one I selected.
It would be helpful to have a tabbed navigation system in Codex, allowing me to open different threads, whether from the same project or from different projects. I could then switch between these open threads using Ctrl + Shift + Tab to move forward or Ctrl + Shift + Tab to move backward. This would simplify navigation, especially when working on several projects at once and needing to jump between their respective threads.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Codex App's thread navigation and keyboard shortcut handling, then determine how tabs should span threads and projects; done means multiple threads remain open and can be switched with clearly defined shortcuts.
