makes sense
jdanbrown commentedon Oct 29, 2025
Can we also add an option that allows pressing ctrl+d once instead of twice?

in the opentui rewrite we are making it exit on first ctrl+c so making it exit on first ctrl+d makes sense too

Hey all, I'm interested in helping out. The contributing guidelines say to make a comment indicating interest.
I see this issue is assigned, but also that
help-wantedlabel was added 3 days ago. I'd love to work on it if it's available. I currently have MacOS, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu) setups to test the fix on.rekram1-node commentedon Oct 30, 2025
Sure @nwthomas we would love that
rekram1-node commentedon Oct 30, 2025
You can add it to the existing go codebase probably pretty easily, or if you prefer you can make a PR against the
opentuibranch (which is our WIP rewrite) < if u dont wanna add it here Ill just port the go code over for uUp to you, or you can do both haha
If you need any guidance lmk here, or ping me on X or discord
nwthomas commentedon Oct 30, 2025
Thank you! I'm looking to get my feet wet and contribute more, so let me start with the Go codebase and then flip to finish in
opentui. Does that work?It looks like the consensus is one ^D to quit as that's also what you're moving to with ^C (I'm assuming in the rewrite) and parallels other unix tools?
I'll join the discord as soon as I can.

@nwthomas yep, that sounds good to me
nwthomas commentedon Oct 31, 2025
I have a draft PR up for the fix in this repo (see just above this comment). However, I've run into a bit of a snag and need clarification. In both
opencodeandopentui, the Textarea components usectrl+dto do delete actions (see opencode and opentui).We could decide on an alternative keybinding for the existing Textarea functionality.
However, Claude Code, for instance, only allows quitting via pressing
ctrl+dtwice if the text box is empty. All other times, it forward deletes text content in the Textarea as well. I'd assume that's what we want to. However, it's not my codebase so I'll defer to you all.rekram1-node commentedon Oct 31, 2025
@nwthomas I think ctrl+d only exits app if the prompt input box is empty in other tools like claude, codex, etc
nwthomas commentedon Oct 31, 2025
Yeah, exactly. Assuming that's what you all want here too, I can have that up soon.

@nwthomas
Im sleepy and didn't read ur whole message my bad!
Yes ur proposal makes total sense, let's be consistent with other tools here
nwthomas commentedon Oct 31, 2025
My comment made it sound like I was proposing a different keybinding. All good.

@rekram1-node both v0 and new OpenTUI PRs are ready for review:
alanxoc3 commentedon Oct 31, 2025
I might not have the popular opinion here. But I'd rather "ctrl+d" be equivalent to "page down" and "ctrl+u" be equivalent to "page up".
Vim, less, and kak (my editor). And pretty sure a lot more things work that way.
It makes you not have to reach for the mouse or arrow keys as much.
rekram1-node commentedon Oct 31, 2025
@alanxoc3 we will have vim motions in the prompt input box, I think when that lands if you are in vim mode would be appropriate

Shouldn’t this issue have been closed by #3636 ?
