   Thanks for the suggestion, @kachunchan-analytics!

   To restate it: you'd like a key binding in Mini Mode (opencode --mini), configurable in cli.json, that switches between primary agents such as build and plan, like shift+tab (agent.cycle) does in the full TUI.

   You're right that it isn't supported right now. Mini mode doesn't register the agent.cycle / agent.cycle.reverse commands, so binding them under keybinds in cli.json has no effect there. Until something changes, the only way to switch agents in mini mode is the command palette: press ctrl+p, choose Switch agent, then pick one from the list.

   This also can't be added with a plugin today, because mini mode doesn't load TUI plugins that could register a key binding.

   Maintainers will consider the request. Related issues:
