   it can be solved with this comment's config:

   #1975 (comment)

   {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "keybinds": {
       "session_child_cycle": "none",
       "session_child_cycle_reverse": "none",
     },
   
     ...
   }

   I use:

     "keybinds": {
       "session_child_cycle": "shift+right",
       "session_child_cycle_reverse": "shift+left",
     },
   

   that way I can still navigate to child sessions, and in my terminal and opencode it is option left or right to navigate words

   Even if I rebind session_child_cycle* actions, Ctrl+arrows still don't work on Linux. Alt+B and Alt+F (older terminal shortcut for Word Backward/Forward) still work, so the functionality is available, just the keybind isn't.
