Anthropic OAuth

Claude subscriptions built-in with /connect. No plugins or configuration needed.

Copy Mode

Text selection from the chat session view.

Works similarly to tmux copy mode within opencode tui.

• Enter copy mode with <leader>v.
• Press v / V to start character-wise or line-wise selection.
• y yanks to the vim register.
• Enter copies to the system clipboard.
• Escape exits visual mode, q exits copy mode.

Tip

Configure the entry key with keybinds.copy_mode in your config if you want something other than <leader>v.

Note

Copy mode collapses code diffs into a single column for easy copying.

Prompt Input

Prompt input height is configurable with prompt_max_height in tui.json.

When the prompt grows past the visible area, a scrollbar appears automatically.

{
  "prompt_max_height": 35,
  "prompt_scrollbar": true
}

Note

When typing gg / G focus the prompt input. H / M / L are supported for viewport-relative navigation.

Warning

Setting prompt_max_height above 40 is not recommended.

Minimal UI

Hides extra UI hints and tips.

Default	Minimal

Tip

Toggle via command palette (Ctrl+p -> Toggle minimal ui).

Configuration

Submit behavior

By default, vim insert mode keeps Enter for newlines. If you want Enter to submit instead, add this to tui.json:

{
  "vim_enter_submit": true
}
