macos terminal before Tahoe does not support modifyOtherKeys, so it won't work there, but behaviour should be better in the latest version and option+delete and option+backspace are now mapped to by-word actions by default.

@kommander do you mean in opencode or on opentui (meaning we need to wait for an update in OC with the new opentui version)? Asking it because it's still not fixed in 1.0.161

I cannot reproduce this, option+backspace deletes the word before the cursor and option+delete deletes the word after the cursor as expected. Did something mess with the Ghostty config?

ghostty config:

theme = dark:"Material Darker",light:"Violet Light"
window-inherit-working-directory = true
fullscreen = true
working-directory = /Users/nimesh/Code/aiagent
unfocused-split-opacity = 1
keybind = shift+enter=text:\n

Okay, I messed around a bit more, and found thatctrl + backspacedoes the behaviour of what i except option + backspace to do.

ps. im on a mac

Setting up my ghostty config up like this worked for me:

macos-option-as-alt = true
keybind = alt+backspace=text:\x1b\x7f
keybind = alt+delete=esc:d

macos-option-as-alt = true

this works. really unfortunate that opencode doesn't work with the default options, though.

@kommander I think this is still an issue and should be reopened. It does not work by default for me with MacOS and Ghostty

MacOS 26.1 and Ghostty tip (commit 669733d59 build 13319) tested with default config

opt + backspace just does a single backspace. cmd + backspace works (deletes entire line)

I have the issue with MacOS v26.1, OpenCode v1.0.206, and Ghostty v1.2.3.

ctrl+backspace and ctrl+w works to delete word backwards, and opt+delete (i.e. fn+opt+backspace) works to delete word forward. But opt+backpsace does not delete word backwards.

I opened #8645 which fixes the TUI-side deletion UX discussed here:

  • opt+backspace deletes one word backward without incorrectly swallowing line boundaries
  • cmd+backspace deletes to line start, and a second press at line start removes the previous newline
