TUI Paste Guide

OpenCode++ continues to use the native OpenCode TUI on Windows. It does not build a Desktop replacement and does not embed the TUI in another terminal surface.

Use one of three input paths.

1. Direct Input

Use direct input for short prompts:

Fix the login timeout bug and add a regression test.

This keeps the normal OpenCode TUI experience unchanged.

2. /editor or Ctrl+X E

For long prompts, use OpenCode's editor flow:

opencode-plusplus setup-editor
opencode-plusplus

On Windows, setup-editor writes a user-level EDITOR environment variable. It chooses the first available editor in this order:

  1. code --wait
  2. cursor --wait
  3. notepad

Restart the terminal after running setup-editor, then open the editor from OpenCode TUI with /editor or Ctrl+X E.

On non-Windows platforms, setup-editor prints an export EDITOR="..." line for your shell profile instead of changing the environment.

3. /clip

Use /clip when you want to move a large prompt through the system clipboard without fighting terminal paste behavior.

Install the slash command once per repository:

opencode-plusplus install-commands

Copy your long prompt, then write it into the OpenCode++ clipboard file:

opencode-plusplus clip

Or pipe text directly:

Get-Content .\prompt.md -Raw | opencode-plusplus clip

The payload is written to:

.opencode-plusplus/clipboard/latest.md

Then open OpenCode TUI and run:

/clip

The slash command asks OpenCode to read .opencode-plusplus/clipboard/latest.md as the long-form user input.

Notes

  • .opencode-plusplus/clipboard/ is ignored by git.
  • opencode-plusplus tui prints a Windows hint when EDITOR is not set: use /editor or Ctrl+X E for long text.
  • opencode-plusplus clip is a helper around the native TUI; it does not modify OpenCode source code.
