[BUG] Ctrl+X (agent switcher) is dangerously close to Ctrl+C (quit) — should be remapped to Ctrl+K

[talha7k]

Description

The Ctrl+X keybinding for opening the agent/session picker is too close to Ctrl+C, which immediately quits OpenCode and clears the current session. This makes it extremely easy to accidentally close the entire program when you intended to switch agents or view sub-agent tasks — losing your unsent prompt, current context, and interrupting running tasks.

Current behavior

• Ctrl+X → Opens agent/session picker (chord: Ctrl+X then arrow keys)
• Ctrl+C → Immediately quits OpenCode, clearing everything with no confirmation

Expected behavior

Remap the agent switcher to a safer keybinding that isn't adjacent to the quit shortcut. Ctrl+K would be a natural choice — it's the standard chord leader key used by many popular TUIs (lazygit, helix, etc.) and has no risk of accidental adjacency with Ctrl+C.

Proposed fix

• Change agent/session picker from Ctrl+X → Ctrl+K
• This follows the convention used by lazygit, helix, and other modern terminal UIs where Ctrl+K is the leader key for navigation actions

Alternative / complementary fix

See related issue: Ctrl+C should ask for confirmation before closing. Both fixes together would eliminate the problem entirely.
