   Solution found: install xclip

   sudo apt install xclip My environment:

   * Ubuntu 26.04 + Ptyxis + Wayland
   
   * OpenCode 1.15.5
   
   * No multiplexers (tmux/zellij)
   

   Why it works: OpenCode seems to use xclip as a fallback for copying to the clipboard when OSC52 fails (which happens in certain Linux terminals with Wayland). Before this, auto-copy-on-select showed "Copied to clipboard" but never reached the clipboard. After installing xclip, it works perfectly. Note: the solution is simple and doesn't require changing terminals or disabling Wayland. Hope this helps other users with the same issue.

   sorry this is a macos-specific thread

   I use tmux+nvim+opencode (invoked by sidekick.nvim) on macos, no xclip installed
   add this in tmux.conf

   set -g allow-passthrough on
   

   run tmux kill-server
   then restart tmux+opencode. it would work. I use kitty+ssh to connect the macos remotely.

   I also tested kitty+opencode without tmux, it works too.
