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

Before the switch to OpenTUI I was able to use emacs-style hotkeys to eg. jump to the beginning of the prompt or delete it, for example after doing /undo, using CTRL + U, CTRL + A, CTRL + E etc.

This was useful and is convention with many TUI tools. I assume it's not part of OpenTUI yet?

    This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

    These issues all relate to the same underlying problem: emacs/readline-style keyboard navigation being broken or missing after the OpenTUI transition.

    Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

    Thanks! Also, sorry, I noticed that CTRL+E and CTRL+A already work (again?), only CTRL+U doesn't. I also saw the other issue about that now, closing here.
