   Ctrl + T: new tab; Ctrl+W: close tab;

   Status report from OpenCode Desktop 1.18.21 on Windows: the shortcuts requested here appear to already exist and work in my build:

   • Ctrl+T and Ctrl+N — both effectively give me a new session/tab
   • Ctrl+W — closes the current tab
   • Ctrl+Tab — cycles to the next tab
   • Ctrl+Shift+Tab — cycles to the previous tab
   • Ctrl+Shift+T — restores the last closed tab

   From my recollection, Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab arrived together with the tabbed session UI, so they may be newer than this issue. I can't pin down exactly when each binding landed, so maintainers should double-check against current keybind definitions rather than take my word for it. If everything above matches the implemented defaults, this issue can probably be closed as completed.

   Could the settings in OpenCode Desktop Mac enable keyboard shortcut customization for

   • Cycling to next tab
   • Cycling to previous tab

   Browsers on Mac use Command+Shift+[ and Command+Shift+], and it would be helpful to be able to match this.

   +1 for this. Ctrl+tab and Ctrl+shift+tab feel very unnatural to me. I can't think of other tab-based macOS software with those sort of hotkeys.

   +1 for CMD+SHIFT+[ and CMD+SHIFT+], think that's the default in both browsers and IDEs like Zed
