Bug Report: Copy/Paste Issues in OpenCode CLI #15604
Description
Description
OS: Ubuntu (GNOME Terminal)
Terminal: GNOME Terminal
OpenCode Version: 1.2.15
Description:
Copy/paste functionality is broken in the OpenCode CLI terminal interface.
Issue 1 - Ctrl+Shift+V:
- When pressing Ctrl+Shift+V to paste, instead of pasting text, OpenCode throws an error:
"ERROR: Cannot read "clipboard" (this model does not support image input). Inform the user." - The clipboard contains plain text (verified with xclip - shows UTF8_STRING), but OpenCode incorrectly tries to read it as an image.
Issue 2 - Right-click menu:
- Right-click in the terminal does nothing at all (no context menu appears)
- This prevents using right-click → Paste as an alternative
Expected behavior:
- Ctrl+Shift+V should paste text from the system clipboard
- Right-click should show a context menu with Paste option
Workaround that partially works:
- None fully works. Typing directly in the input area works but is not ideal.
Additional notes:
- System clipboard works perfectly fine in other terminal applications (e.g., ollama commands)
- After installing xclip, the clipboard became accessible but content type is misidentified
- This prevents users who rely on paste (e.g., for transcription from audio apps) from using OpenCode effectively

Steps to reproduce

Any new solution for this? I'm still with this issue.

I solved this problem with: set "mouse": false in ~/.config/opencode/tui.json.

it used to work , they just have to re enable it , its works for opencode desktop tho just fine , but its anyyoing as heck , but sometimes opencode desktop app feel or seems like a dumber verison seems recent updates, also this seemed to work for me , The Double-Modifier: Hold Ctrl + Shift and then Right-Click your mouse inside the terminal.
