OpenCode 1.18.8 adds navigation shortcuts, MCP v2 resilience

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT X

OpenCode has released version 1.18.8, introducing key usability and integration updates. This release adds a keyboard shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+O) to quickly launch the project selector from the new-session view, upgrades Model Context Protocol (MCP) support to the v2 client with automatic expired-session recovery, and improves request compatibility for Gemini AI models.

// ANALYSIS

Seamless session recovery and shortcut-driven navigation refine the developer experience for interactive AI-assisted coding.

–Navigation improvement: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+O allows keyboard-first users to quickly switch project contexts from the new-session view.
–MCP v2 resilience: Expired-session recovery reduces friction when working with long-running Model Context Protocol connections.
–Gemini integration: Enhanced request compatibility ensures broader reliability when prompting Google's Gemini models.
