challenges with key bindings #1108
Description
I'm struggling to use all the key bindings. Some work, like ctrl+x m and ctrl+x e, but many don't like searching with ctrl+x /. I've tried both the defaults and setting them in the config. I'm on MacOS using Ghostty for the terminal. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. This is probably a topic for a discussion thread.

I am experiencing the same, and I am also a MacOS and Ghostty user.
To test if can solely use control as my leader I used the following config.json;
{ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "keybinds": { "leader": "ctrl", "editor_open": "<leader>e", } }However that does not work.
Please can you provide guidance on how to configure this properly?

Sorry to pester here but can I get bump on this?
As it stands I can't copy a message to my clipboard which is a workflow pain.

I have the same issues with the keymaps; however, you can copy with the mouse now. Select the text and release, and it will automatically copy to the clipboard. But I, too, am looking forward to the keymaps working with macOS.

On macos too, cant get any of them to work

trying to sort through the comments here. for starters, leader can't just be a modifier key, unfortunately. there's also likely drift between docs and keybinds that actually do anything today, as we've removed some features.

I think you're right, this is probably the main issue: documentation and what is displayed in help. Most of these keybindings work great. The ones that don't are the message navigation keybinds and file search (and maybe a few others). I discovered you can use
@to get a list of files and search. That works great.cgilly2fast commentedon Aug 16, 2025
Keybinds for me still very broken for me, only ones that work at the / and @ command, and as of 5.3 I cant scroll anymore either

@cgilly2fast plz update to latest to fix scroll bug, as for keybind issues we will look into those more for u
mschenk42 commentedon Aug 16, 2025
I thought I was the only one having trouble scrolling, but I'm happy to report that it's working perfectly with the latest version!

As you can see, I encountered an issue. I'm using Ubuntu in WSL2. And when I commented out the line where session_navigation is located, all shortcuts stopped working as well.

@xyz-liu15 session_navigate isnt an actual keybind the docs were wrong and have since been fixed
the fact that no other bindings are working is separate tho we will fix that
