   Confirming on V2 (2.0.18, Windows) and narrowing the ask to keyboard scrolling specifically.

   In V2 the permission prompt has no keyboard scrolling: neither the compact view nor after ctrl+f (permission.prompt.fullscreen). up/down, pageup/pagedown, j/k, ctrl+u/ctrl+d do nothing; only the mouse wheel scrolls. Same on V1 as far as I can tell (I used V1 until recently), so I don't think this is a regression, the prompt simply never got keyboard scroll, unlike the /diff viewer and Shell output viewer, which both support it.

   The scroll keys also aren't remappable: the diff.* IDs and dialog.select.page_up/page_down have no effect here.

   Ask: add keyboard scrolling (and make it configurable), consistent with the diff viewer, at least when maximized with ctrl+f:

   • pageup/pagedown: one page
   • up/down, j/k: one line
   • home/end: start/end

   e.g. as command IDs permission.prompt.page.down, permission.prompt.line.up, …

   Why it matters: this is the only place to review a change before it's applied, so no keyboard scroll means deciding after reading only the visible portion, or reaching for the mouse.

   Repro:

   1. Edits/shell set to ask.
   2. Ask for an edit whose diff is taller than the terminal.
   3. Press ctrl+f in the Permission Required dialog.
   4. Try the keys above, nothing scrolls; the wheel is the only option.

   Environment: opencode v2.0.18 · Windows 10.0.26200.9457 (x64) · xterm-256color · pwsh · latest.

   Potentially related issues: #28191 (hardcoded maxHeight: 15 / expanded state), #38526 and #51820 (long/permission command readability), #40953 (expose prompt commands to plugins), #10923 and #14797 (earlier permission-prompt scroll requests), #6901 and #7961 (permission buffer not scrollable).

   This is a basic feature and needs to be added..
   I just tested opencode for the first time today.. compared to claude or codex it is really missing some basic features..

   I could give this a shot if you're open to it. Keyboard scrolling for the permission prompt body (fullscreen), with configurable binds in cli.json. Can look into this after I get a design approval

   Its looks like that there is already a PR open for this issue.
   But it wouldn't be the first time that it would be closed automatically.. lets hope not.

   Thanks for the detailed write-up, @vgammieri-private!

   You're on opencode 1.18.32, which is OpenCode v1 (the opencode-ai package). v1 now only gets fixes for critical bugs such as data loss, security problems or crashes with no workaround, so this request is unlikely to be picked up there. Until then, ctrl+f (permission fullscreen) is the way to scroll long diffs.

   We'd encourage you to try OpenCode v2 (@opencode/cli, the opencode command), where all active development happens. In v2 the permission prompt's fullscreen toggle is a named keybind (permission.prompt.fullscreen) and the prompt shows its key, so it looks like it can be remapped. The compact view is still height-limited there.

   If you try v2 and still want the compact prompt to scroll or the scroll keys to be configurable, please reply here or open a new issue. Please also reply if you think this is critical.

   Here it comes again, a fucking stupid bot, closing once again a still open bug. You gotta love this..

   Closing this as not planned. It was reported on opencode 1.18.32 (v1), which only gets critical fixes, and we haven't heard back since the note above.

   Thank you for the clear report, @vgammieri-private. If you try OpenCode v2 (@opencode/cli) and the compact permission prompt still can't scroll long diffs, or the prompt's keys still can't be remapped in tui.json, please open a new issue with your v2 version and we'll take a look.
