Customization

Add to your opencode.json to customize keybindings:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "keybinds": {
    "leader": "ctrl+x",
    "messages_last": "ctrl+alt+g,end",
    "messages_first": "ctrl+g,home",
    "session_new": "<leader>n"
  }
}

Keybind Syntax

• Multiple keys: separate with , (e.g., "ctrl+g,home")
• Leader prefix: use <leader> (e.g., "<leader>n")
• Modifiers: ctrl, alt, shift, meta
• Disable: set to "none"

Tips

1. Lost in a long conversation? Press End to jump to the bottom
2. Want to review from the start? Press Home to jump to the top
3. Need a fresh start? <leader>n creates a new session
4. Wrong model? F2 quickly cycles through recent models
5. Quick command access? Ctrl+P opens the command palette
