Feature Request: Navigation Shortcut to Jump Between User Messages #3337
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
I'd like to have a feature that allows me to navigate the message history and jump directly to my messages.
For illustration purposes only: pressing SHIFT + [arrow up/down] jumps to the user's messages in a chat. (We all know how incredibly long chats can get, making it difficult to distinguish between our own message and the models/agents)
Along the same lines of making our messages easier to find, it would be nice to be able to highlight our users' messages with a different foreground and background color.

yeah after opencode rewrite ships this week we can think about more keybinds and whatnot

+1 Adding keybinds like
messages_previous_user/messages_next_userwould make it easier to scroll back through the user's view of the conversation. Similar functionality as/timeline, except when I do/timelineand press up/down I can't really see what I'm looking at, because it's very low contrast and the timeline popup is in the way. Addingmessages_previous_user/messages_next_userwould be a more "immediate" way to scroll back through my user messages, and see the model's response (without e.g. having to trigger and dismiss the timeline popup for every message).I think this would subsume the new
messages_last_userkeybind, if I'm correctly reading the intent of the original request:will-marella commentedon Dec 4, 2025
Sorry I missed this. Added a new feature request #5077 and created a pull request with the new keybinds: #5078
