Override Default Keymaps

[JonathanRiche]

It would be great if we could override some of the default keymaps ie for Tmux users i have CTRL + HJKL for moving between panes and those are default keybinds in opencode.

Similarly none of the readline keybindings should default to anything other than their standard behavior:

• ctrl+f should move forward one character, not open a file picker
• ctrl-e should jump to the end of the line, not open $EDITOR
• ctrl-u should delete from the cursor to the beginning of the line
• ctrl-k should delete from the cursor to the end of the line, not open the command pallet
• ctrl-n should move down one line

I'm sure there's more but these are just the few that made using the input unusable for me.

I know not everyone knows every single readline keybinding, but many developers know a few and it only takes messing up one to break someone's flow. Readline keybindings should be sacred in terminal inputs.

Overall great job though, opencode looks beautiful! I'm rooting for you!

yep, agreed, i generally hate all things keybinds currently in the app; i think moving everything to /<command> maybe gets us there? once we're on latest bubbletea we can use cmd maybe? cmd+k, for instance, opening the commands dialog... that makes sense

I wouldn't use cmd for any default keybindings. I feel like there's sort of an unspoken rule that cmd is for the emulator program (iTerm, Ghostty, VS Code, etc.), and if the user wants to configure cmd key maps for a TUI program that's something they do themselves (with the knowledge of what emulator they're using). It's also not very cross-platform friendly, of course.

There's plenty of free ctrl and alt keybindings that don't conflict with the main readline keybindings :)

There are so many different preferences when it comes to keybindings, we should just make it fully customizable via the config file. It's not that heavy of a lift imo. I will gladly volunteer to implement it if we decide to go this route.

[adamdotdevin]

yeah, we need to do both; they need to be configurable and we need way better defaults

We need to start thinking about moving to Lipgloss v2. The progressive keyboard enhancements will shine here.

charmbracelet/bubbletea#1374

I'm open to helping with the migration. Just let me know.

[adamdotdevin]

i've already moved over on #38 just have to push my commits

[nacho-vazquez]

Nice!
