   • [FEATURE]: Text selection and navigation inside input with keyboard #3370: Text selection and navigation inside input with keyboard - Reports that Shift+LeftArrow, Ctrl+LeftArrow, Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow navigation shortcuts don't work at all in the input area
   • Use Ctrl + arrow keys to move faster #2520: Use Ctrl + arrow keys to move faster - Reports that only single character movement is possible, making it slow to edit text
   • OpenTUI: ctrl-z background controls are broken #3737: OpenTUI: ctrl-z background controls are broken - Reports ctrl-based keyboard shortcuts being masked/broken since OpenTUI integration
   • Command backspace not working from 1.0 #3783: Command backspace not working from 1.0 - Reports another keyboard shortcut that stopped working after version 1.0 upgrade

   Home/end have no bindings currently, ctrl+a/e do though. What does "cannot navigate" mean, like not at all or some keybindings are missing? What platform/arch?

   Also the home/end keys are not working.

   Home/End are bound to scrolling the messages list in the default config:
   https://opencode.ai/docs/keybinds/

   If rebound to something else, Home/End works as expected. Ctrl + arrow keys doesn't seem to work in Linux no matter what, but there are several other issues open on that already (I use Alt+B and Alt+F as a crutch in the meantime).
