For keybind-related issues, please also check our pinned keybinds documentation: #4997

ctrl + x -> b is more meaningful, cant even think why he would pair such action to global shortcut, when oc doesn't provide direct shortcut for model selection

Also, this breaks emacs keybinding for left, which I use every time. @rekram1-node Can we fix that? As @klonuo said, leader (ctrl+x) -> b is much better keybind

Just change the keybinding. There simply isn't a universal keybinding that works for everyone. https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/cli/keybinds/

Thats alright to change keybind, but this one actually conflicts with already defined ctrl+b (left). It works in input field when there is no messages (start screen), and then just stops working because of conflict.
Isn't that bad to have conflicts?

or simply, why is
ctrl+beven a default forinput.move.leftif it doesn't work becausectrl+bis also the default forsession.background?simonklee commentedon Sep 27, 2026
Agree with your criticism regarding conflicts, and I made change to fix that. Regarding keybinding its hard to satisfy all expectations, on this one I’ve personally also rebounded it to bash defaults
