[FEATURE]: Can use ctrl+c twice to close the tui?

[haimu0427]

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

• I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Although it is possible to use the mouse to control copy and paste, as a windows user, I often use ctrl + c to do so, and often fail to close the windows tui opencode.
If this is a good idea, I can add this feature.

Hi! I was testing it here and saw that it's possible to copy the AI output simply by selecting what it returned in the terminal, without needing to use the CTRL+C shortcut.

I can show it better in the screenshorts.

You are right. But it's easy for me to exit opencode. Because I often use ctrl c.
Claude code was designed to prevent me from pressing Ctrl C by mistake. Because it needs to be pressed twice to exit.

I'll take a look at what I can do here and I'll comment on my results here later.

Hello again, I updated the config.ts file and now the shortcut to clear the input is CTRL+L and the shortcut to copy to the console is CTRL+D. What do you think? I haven't submitted a pull request because I want to hear your opinion first.

Now, when selecting output, you can use the shortcut CTRL+C and the action to automatically copy to the clipboard is still enabled.

Documentation:

Shortcuts: Copy vs Exit

Problem

In OpenCode TUI, Ctrl+C is often used as a global shortcut for exit (app_exit). For those accustomed to Ctrl+C = copy, this can unintentionally close the CLI.

Recommended Solution

1. Remove Ctrl+C from the exit shortcut (keybinds.app_exit)
2. Use another shortcut for “clear input” (e.g., Ctrl+L)
3. Keep exit via Ctrl+D

Toggle quickly in TUI

In the prompt, run:

• /togglecopy (toggles between traditional mode and “copy-friendly” mode)

I think it's A good job, is it a little complicated?
I think we can look at the success stories on the market. For example claude code and codex.
Thank you for providing me with a good idea, and I also hope to make a contribution to this reposipory.

Good evening -- I don't know what the time is there. I made the change. If you want, we can exchange ideas, what do you think?

Or I can send you the code here if you prefer.

[haimu0427]

We're on opposite sides of the globe~😸, and it's still morning here,
so I'd love to take a look at your code.

[bezerraluiz]

Yess, should I send the code here or do you have another way to communicate?

[haimu0427]

Just go here, or contact me haimu0427@Outlook.com . Actually, I'm not familiar with what social programs you guys use 🥲

I was looking at the changes and it would be easier if you took a look at the commit on the branch.
