Practical guides for running coding agents with less window-switching: notifications for Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity, faster approvals, several sessions at once, sessions on SSH servers, and the Logitech MX Creative Keypad or an Android phone as a status pad.
- Run several Claude Code sessions at once and know which one needs youHow to keep track of parallel Claude Code sessions, with Claude Code's own signals and with a status pad that puts the waiting session first.
- Get notified when Claude Code needs approval or finishesThe three built-in ways Claude Code tells you it needs you, how to set each one up, and what to use when you run several sessions.
- Know when a Codex task is waiting for youTurn on Codex CLI notifications for finished turns and approval requests, run your own script when a turn completes, and keep track of several Codex sessions at once.
- Build your own status display with Claude Code hooksA small Claude Code hooks example: turn hook events into a live list of your sessions, with the one waiting for you on top, in about 30 lines of Python.
- Approve agent tool calls without switching windowsFewer permission prompts in Claude Code and Codex, and a way to answer the rest from a keypad or phone without leaving the window you're in.
- Use the Logitech MX Creative Keypad without Logi Options+Drive the MX Creative Keypad (and the standalone MX Keypad) directly over USB, keep Options+ for your other devices, and switch between the two.
- Know when Google Antigravity is waiting for youHow Antigravity tells you an agent needs input, from the CLI's notifications to Remote Control on your phone, and how to see and answer its questions from a keypad.
- Orbtile and Logitech's Claude plugin, comparedBoth put Claude Code sessions on the Logitech MX Keypad with live status and Allow and Deny on the keys. Here is what each one covers, and when to pick which.
- Stream Deck or MX Creative Keypad for AI coding agentsWhich macro pad to use for Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents, what each one can show and answer, and the option that needs no new hardware.
- Your old Android phone as a free status pad for coding agentsTurn a spare Android phone into a live display for Claude Code, Codex and other agents next to your Mac or Windows PC, without buying a Stream Deck.
- Watch Claude Code and Codex running on a remote server over SSHSee the Claude Code, Codex and ZCode CLI sessions on your SSH servers next to your local ones, on the Logitech MX Creative Keypad or an Android phone.
- Show any script or agent on a keypad with the Orbtile Adapter APIPut a build, a deploy, a test run or an agent Orbtile doesn't know yet on the Logitech MX Creative Keypad or an Android phone, with a few local HTTP calls.
- The Logitech MX Keypad for developers, with and without Options+What the MX Keypad and the MX Creative Keypad can do for a developer: shortcuts per app with Logi Options+, a live status pad for coding agents with Orbtile, and how to switch between the two.
- Share context between Claude Code and CodexKeep one set of project instructions for both agents with AGENTS.md, share your global rules, and keep a running notes file both of them read.
- Get notified when Claude Code needs you on WindowsClaude Code's desktop notifications don't appear in Windows Terminal by default. Here are the two settings that fix it, and how to see several sessions at once on a Windows PC.
