Remap OpenCode Exit Key to Avoid Accidental Session Loss with Ctrl+C
OpenCode, a terminal-based AI coding tool, exits the entire application by default when users press Ctrl+C, a keybinding deeply ingrained in terminal workflows for interrupting processes. This behavior can cause frustrating loss of long AI sessions that may hold valuable context. The fix involves editing OpenCode's configuration file to reassign the app_exit action to a different shortcut, such as Ctrl+D or a leader-based key combination. This small change separates the 'interrupt current action' function from 'close the application', reducing the risk of accidental exits. Users who frequently work in terminals are advised to make this remapping early in their OpenCode setup.
