   can copy but it does not paste to other windows like gedit, vscode etc.. So cannot connect mcp streaming http server for authorization. Furthermore it takes a huge amount of time to tell OC how to use OAuth with DCR and well known authorization endpoints. Ubuntu 25.10 , standard terminal .

    I just discovered that if I hold shift and select text, then I can copy manually. Hope this helps someone.

    even when you use the shift key in the terminal, it now copies all the useless noise ascii rather than just the text you want;

    do not override normal user controls

    copy paste doesnt work anywhere because who ever decided to override normal terminal behavior fails to read issues.

    There was an explanation long ago: #13984 (comment) .
    The thing is Opencode TUI relies on OSC 52 terminal function which is not supported by some popular terminal emulators like GNOME Terminal.

    Would be great to put this info into the issue description, so people can see it easily without reading the full thread.

    Closing as a duplicate of #4283, which tracks copy to clipboard not working in the TUI. Please add your OS, terminal and OpenCode version there.
