opencode has a list of keybinds that you can customize through the opencode config.
{ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "keybinds": { "leader": "ctrl+x", "app_help": "<leader>h", "app_exit": "ctrl+c,<leader>q", "editor_open": "<leader>e", "theme_list": "<leader>t", "project_init": "<leader>i", "tool_details": "<leader>d", "thinking_blocks": "<leader>b", "session_export": "<leader>x", "session_new": "<leader>n", "session_list": "<leader>l", "session_share": "<leader>s", "session_unshare": "none", "session_interrupt": "esc", "session_compact": "<leader>c", "session_child_cycle": "ctrl+right", "session_child_cycle_reverse": "ctrl+left", "messages_page_up": "pgup", "messages_page_down": "pgdown", "messages_half_page_up": "ctrl+alt+u", "messages_half_page_down": "ctrl+alt+d", "messages_first": "ctrl+g", "messages_last": "ctrl+alt+g", "messages_copy": "<leader>y", "messages_undo": "<leader>u", "messages_redo": "<leader>r", "model_list": "<leader>m", "model_cycle_recent": "f2", "model_cycle_recent_reverse": "shift+f2", "agent_list": "<leader>a", "agent_cycle": "tab", "agent_cycle_reverse": "shift+tab", "input_clear": "ctrl+c", "input_paste": "ctrl+v", "input_submit": "enter", "input_newline": "shift+enter,ctrl+j" } }
Leader key
opencode uses a leader key for most keybinds. This avoids conflicts in your terminal.
By default, ctrl+x is the leader key and most 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.
Disable keybind
You can disable a keybind by adding the key to your config with a value of "none".
