:::note
On Windows, the defaults for `input_undo` and `terminal_suspend` are different:
- `input_undo` defaults to `ctrl+z,ctrl+-,super+z` when it is not explicitly configured. The `ctrl+z` binding is added because Windows terminals do not support POSIX suspend.
- `terminal_suspend` is forced to `none` because native Windows terminals do not support POSIX suspend.

## Leader Key
OpenCode uses a `leader` key for many keybinds. This avoids conflicts in your terminal.
By default, `ctrl+x` is the leader key and many actions require you to first press the leader key and then the shortcut. For example, to start a new session you first press `ctrl+x` and then press `n`.
You don't need to use a leader key for your keybinds but we recommend doing so.
Some navigation keybinds intentionally do not use the leader key by default. For subagent sessions, the defaults are `session_child_first` = `<leader>down`, `session_child_cycle` = `right`, `session_child_cycle_reverse` = `left`, and `session_parent` = `up`.
`leader_timeout` controls how long OpenCode waits for the next key after the leader key. It defaults to `2000` milliseconds.
---
## Binding Values
A string can contain one shortcut or multiple comma-separated shortcuts. You can also use an array for multiple shortcuts.
For advanced cases, use an object with `key`, `event`, `preventDefault`, or `fallthrough`.
```json title="tui.json"
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
"keybinds": {
"messages_copy": ["<leader>y", "ctrl+shift+c"],
"input_paste": {
"key": "ctrl+v",
"preventDefault": false
}
}
}
```
---
## Disable Keybind
You can disable a keybind by adding the key to `tui.json` with a value of `"none"` or `false`.
```json title="tui.json"
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
"keybinds": {
"session_compact": "none"
}
}
```

## Desktop Prompt Shortcuts
The OpenCode desktop app prompt input supports common Readline/Emacs-style shortcuts for editing text. These are built-in and currently not configurable via `opencode.json`.
| Shortcut | Action |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `ctrl+a` | Move to start of current line |
| `ctrl+e` | Move to end of current line |
| `ctrl+b` | Move cursor back one character |
| `ctrl+f` | Move cursor forward one character |
| `alt+b` | Move cursor back one word |
| `alt+f` | Move cursor forward one word |
| `ctrl+d` | Delete character under cursor |
| `ctrl+k` | Kill to end of line |
| `ctrl+u` | Kill to start of line |
| `ctrl+w` | Kill previous word |
| `alt+d` | Kill next word |
| `ctrl+t` | Transpose characters |
| `ctrl+g` | Cancel popovers / abort running response |
---
## Shift+Enter
Some terminals don't send modifier keys with Enter by default. You may need to configure your terminal to send `Shift+Enter` as an escape sequence.
### Windows Terminal
Open your `settings.json` at:
```
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
```
Add this to the root-level `actions` array:
```json
"actions": [
{
"command": {
"action": "sendInput",
"input": "\u001b[13;2u"
},
"id": "User.sendInput.ShiftEnterCustom"
}
]
```
Add this to the root-level `keybindings` array:
```json
"keybindings": [
{
"keys": "shift+enter",
"id": "User.sendInput.ShiftEnterCustom"
}
]
```
Save the file and restart Windows Terminal or open a new tab.
