Description

I am unable to navigate the TextArea for editing the prompt text to be sent to the AI Model since the version 1.0 upgrade.
It was working fine in 0.15.x.

This is a primary and basic utility for working within the TUI for optimal developer experience.

OpenCode version

1.0.35

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

  • #2649: Standard keyboard cursor navigation (Home/End key, ctrl+left/right key) - Reports similar navigation issues with Home/End keys and ctrl+left/right not working as expected in the TextArea since the TUI changes
  • #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
  • #2520: Use Ctrl + arrow keys to move faster - Reports that only single character movement is possible, making it slow to edit text
  • #3737: OpenTUI: ctrl-z background controls are broken - Reports ctrl-based keyboard shortcuts being masked/broken since OpenTUI integration
  • #3783: Command backspace not working from 1.0 - Reports another keyboard shortcut that stopped working after version 1.0 upgrade

These issues all describe similar problems with keyboard navigation and text editing shortcuts that were working in 0.15.x but broke after the 1.0 upgrade and OpenTUI integration.

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

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?

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).
