Description

This happened recently, I'm on a Macbook using Ghosttty. All other keys appear to repeat when I hold them down. But if I hold down one of the arrow keys it does not repeat and I have to manually tap it over and over to move the cursor.

This behavior is not present outside of Opencode.

OpenCode version

1.0.120

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

  • #2649: Standard keyboard cursor navigation (Home/End key, ctrl+left/right key) - mentions having to hold arrow keys and wait for key repeat as a workaround
  • #4646: Editor unusable after upgrade - reports similar slow keypresses and key repeat issues in editor mode
  • #3978: Cannot Navigate the TextArea using Ctrl and Alt - reports navigation issues in 1.0 upgrade
  • #3370: Text selection and navigation inside input with keyboard - related keyboard navigation issues

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