Bash commands not working in ssh session #3320
Description
Description
I'm using opencode on a remote server via SSH. Using iterm (which fixed my copy and paste issues) but if I try to run a bash command with ! it seems perhaps the output is swalled, nothing enters the conversation, when I hit ! I get a slightly different input bar (coloured left border) and a space after before I can enter my command.
OpenCode version
v0.15.10

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
!command functionality and mentions that the current implementation may have limitationsFeel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

What is the bash command you are running? Does
!echo xwork?Do normal messages with the LLM work?

LLM is working fine. Any ! command, will start like a conversation 'Generating...' and then there is no output. Back to regular llm conversation (plan or build). Tried with wezterm, iterm (mac), vscode terminal.
I'm almost certain this was working before I upgrade to v.15.10, I remember first downloading opencode and testing as I went through the docs, and I don't have it installed on any local machine, so must have been on that host.

when you do a ! invocation it will source your bashrc or zshrc and run it with your shell of choice, is there a chance that the sourcing takes a while due to some script?
What shell are you using? on the host i guess (or wherever opencode is running)

@ispyinternet - hey I was just stuck with this exact behavior for a WHILE.
Turns out you stop seeing any bash commands that you submit as well as their output when you have "Tool Details" toggled off. This results in submitting something like:
! echo helloand it appearing to just send it to the model and not produce any output...Toggle tool details on/off via
/detailscommand and I'll bet you'll start seeing your ! commands working again :)This should probably be mentioned prominently in the docs under the bash commands section.

I think there is a bug with how some things are shown visually when you have details off we will need to fix

/details did indeed fix the issue! Bit of a gotcha, but thanks for the tip.
