Since the Desktop V2 redesign (v1.15.x+), several frequently-used actions have been removed from the UI surface and hidden behind keyboard shortcuts or the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P). This makes the desktop experience noticeably less fluid than the Web version or OpenChamber.
Missing features
1. Quick-access toolbar buttons (title bar / top-right area)
The following buttons were available before v1.15.x and are now gone:
Terminal (>_) — toggle integrated terminal
New file / New session (+)
Reveal in Finder / Open in External Editor / Open Folder in Finder
These actions are now only accessible via keyboard shortcuts or the command palette, which adds friction for mouse-first users and for actions performed frequently during a session.
2. Inline file editing
There is no way (or it is very limited) to directly edit project files inside OpenCode Desktop. OpenChamber handles this well with a file explorer + inline editing. This is a significant UX gap for users who want to stay in one window.
Suggested improvements
Restore (or make optional via settings) a toolbar or icon row in the title bar for common actions: Terminal, New File, Reveal in Finder, Open in IDE, etc.
Add direct file editing in the Desktop UI (file explorer + inline editor), similar to OpenChamber.
At minimum, add a "Classic Toolbar" toggle in Settings so power users can opt back in.
Context
Version: 1.15.12
OS: macOS (DMG)
Comparison: OpenChamber provides a better UX for both of these points.
I'm a regular user and love OpenCode — the V2 Desktop is a step back on these specific aspects compared to the Web version and OpenChamber. Thanks for the great work!
