Desktop terminal completely non-functional on Windows — no keyboard input, blank PTY #21498

Closed as not planned

Description

Description

The terminal panel in OpenCode Desktop on Windows opens and shows a cursor,
but no keyboard input is accepted. Typing, Ctrl+C, and all other key combinations
do nothing. The terminal is completely non-interactive.

This affects both the default shell and any configured shell. Setting
"terminal": { "shell": "wsl.exe" } in config causes "Could not reach Local
Server" on startup, confirming WSL terminal is not supported in the Desktop app.

Plugins

None (plugin: [] in config)

OpenCode version

1.4.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open OpenCode Desktop on Windows
  2. Click on the Terminal panel at the bottom
  3. Try typing any command
  4. Try Ctrl+C
  5. Nothing is registered — terminal is visually present but accepts zero input

Operating System
