   Thanks for the detailed report. I reproduced this on 2.2.5, and it still happens on the latest dev (ff90ed9).

   What I saw on 2.2.5, with a simulated model:

   • /highlights opens "What's new in 2.2.5". It tells Windows/Linux users to press Ctrl+Alt+O to choose a worktree, Ctrl+Alt+B to choose its base branch and Ctrl+Shift+X to toggle shell mode. The "Send Quotes From the Comment Popup" entry is also about the desktop app.
   • In a session with a long transcript, Ctrl+Alt+O and Ctrl+Shift+X do nothing.
   • Ctrl+Alt+B scrolls the transcript up a page, because it is the default for session.page.up.

   The recording and screenshots below show this, and the script below reproduces it.

   On dev the keys behave the same. Release highlights are still embedded as plain {title, body} entries with nothing saying which app they apply to, so the TUI still can't filter out desktop-only ones. The related work on the desktop side is in #60134 and #60607.

   Reproduction script (drive.ts)

   // Reproduces anomalyco/opencode#61237: the TUI "What's new" dialog advertises
   // desktop-only shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+O, Ctrl+Alt+B, Ctrl+Shift+X) that do nothing
   // (or something else) in the TUI.
   import { Effect } from "effect"
   import { Llm, OpenCodeDriver } from "opencode-drive"
   
   const long = Array.from({ length: 120 }, (_, i) => `Line ${i + 1} of a long answer.`).join("\n\n")
   
   export default OpenCodeDriver.use(
     {
       ...(process.env.OC_DEV ? { opencode: { dev: process.env.OC_DEV } } : {}),
       tui: { recording: true, keypressOverlay: true },
     },
     ({ ui, llm }) =>
       Effect.gen(function* () {
         // 1. Show the release highlights dialog (same as after an update).
         // Source builds (OC_DEV) embed no highlights, so /highlights only exists on release builds.
         if (!process.env.OC_DEV) {
           yield* ui.submit("/highlights")
           yield* Effect.sleep("1500 millis")
           yield* ui.screenshot("01-highlights-dialog")
           yield* ui.press("escape")
           yield* Effect.sleep("500 millis")
         }
   
         // Produce a long transcript so paging is visible.
         // One response for the session title request, one for the answer.
         yield* llm.queue(Llm.text(long))
         yield* llm.queue(Llm.text(long))
         yield* ui.submit("write a long answer")
         yield* ui.waitFor("Line 120 of a long answer.", { timeout: 30_000 })
         yield* Effect.sleep("1000 millis")
         yield* ui.screenshot("02-before-shortcuts")
   
         // 2. Ctrl+Alt+O: announced as "choose a worktree".
         yield* ui.press("o", { ctrl: true, meta: true })
         yield* Effect.sleep("1500 millis")
         yield* ui.screenshot("03-after-ctrl-alt-o")
   
         // 3. Ctrl+Shift+X: announced as "toggle shell mode".
         yield* ui.press("x", { ctrl: true, shift: true })
         yield* Effect.sleep("1500 millis")
         yield* ui.screenshot("04-after-ctrl-shift-x")
   
         // 4. Ctrl+Alt+B: announced as "choose base branch"; actually session.page.up.
         yield* ui.press("b", { ctrl: true, meta: true })
         yield* Effect.sleep("1500 millis")
         yield* ui.screenshot("05-after-ctrl-alt-b")
       }),
   )

   Run it with opencode-drive: opencode-drive run ./drive.ts. It drives opencode from your PATH; set OC_DEV to the path of an OpenCode checkout to run that from source instead.
