   Here's a quick sketch of adding ctrl+u in the other issue for ctrl+f/ctrl+b, but I'm not sure if they should be added in directly in opencode, or lower down in opentui?

   • Missing readline ctrl+f (forward-char) / ctrl+b (backward-char) #4000 (comment)

   ctrl+u now clears the current line from cursor to beginning, that seems to work for multiline input.

   ctrl+d is still overloaded with closing opencode, some people expect that, so there are conflicting expectations on what keybind should do what by default.

   ctrl+d is still overloaded with closing opencode, some people expect that, so there are conflicting expectations on what keybind should do what by default.

   imo it's working correctly (as of 1.0.76):

   • ctrl+d with empty input exits opencode
   • ctrl+d with non-empty input does delete-char

   Both of these behaviors match readline:

   • https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readline.3.html#EDITING_COMMANDS

   Commands for Changing Text
          end-of-file (usually C-d)
                 The character indicating end-of-file as set, for example,
                 by [stty(1)](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/stty.1.html).  If this character is read when there are no
                 characters on the line, and point is at the beginning of
                 the line, readline interprets it as the end of input and
                 returns EOF.
          delete-char (C-d)
                 Delete the character at point.  If this function is bound
                 to the same character as the tty EOF character, as C-d
                 commonly is, see above for the effects.  This may also be
                 bound to the Delete key on some keyboards.

   Afaik this issue can be closed now, since the stated problems are now fixed (as of 1.0.76):

   • ctrl-u: not doing anything, supposed to clear the input field from current cursor position to beginning
   • ctrl-d: supposed to remove the next character in relation to the cursor, currently it's clearing the input field.
