Description

In the V2 TUI, the session composer panel's top tab row (Subagents / Shell / Terminals) and its bottom hint row (interrupt, show inactive, tabs ←/→) do not respond to mouse clicks. Only the keyboard shortcuts work. The list rows and the esc label in the same panel are already clickable, so the panel is inconsistent.

Source: packages/tui/src/routes/session/composer/index.tsx - the tab labels and footer hints are plain <text> elements with no onMouseUp, and the tab-switch commands are anonymous (no id), so a plugin cannot work around it either.

OpenCode version

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a session and open the composer (ctrl+x then down).
  2. Click a tab label (Subagents / Shell / Terminals).
  3. Click show inactive or interrupt at the bottom.
  4. Nothing happens; only the keyboard shortcuts work.

    Still reproduces on v2.1.1 (Linux, Ghostty): clicking Subagents / Shell / Terminals does nothing, while ←/→ switches tabs. The footer hints (interrupt, show inactive, tabs ←/→) behave the same way.

    Thanks for the clear report, @firefoxmmx2!

    You're asking for the composer's tab labels (Subagents / Shell / Terminals) and its footer hints (interrupt, show inactive, tabs ←/→) to respond to mouse clicks, like the list rows and esc in the same panel already do.

    Right now these labels are keyboard hints, and the shortcuts they show all work, so I've filed this as a feature request rather than a bug. Maintainers will consider it.

    As you noted, a plugin can't work around this today, because the tab-switch commands have no id. I've passed that gap on to the maintainers too.
