Pasted text from a clipboard is shown as "[pasted #2 1+ lines]" instead of inline pasting

Description

Hello, opencode devs! I've just downloaded and started to familiarize myself with opencode and I immediately stumbled across two issues.

One is being discussed here - shift+enter keybinding not working #1505 - is that there's no straightforward way to provide multi-line prompts (Ubuntu 24 LTS, default Gnome terminal), apart from CTRL+j
Another is that when I paste some text snippets while composing a prompt, they're pasted like "[pasted Roadmap & Existing Issues #2 1+ lines]" to prompt (instead of a plaintext), which is very annoying.

One might say to overcome both these issues I can prepare my prompts in an external editor - and yes, that is a workaround. But it spoils the overall experience of using the opencode as one and only tool.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

opentui: Multi-line paste with Ctrl+Shift+V is pasted as single line #3397: Multi-line paste with Ctrl+Shift+V is pasted as single line - similar pasting issues in TUI
Cannot paste multiple lines in Windows Terminal and VSCode+Powershell #3343: Cannot paste multiple lines in Windows Terminal and VSCode+Powershell - same core problem with multi-line pasting showing placeholders instead of content
Text pasted in previous sessions is replaced by [pasted ... lines] placeholders #1265: Text pasted in previous sessions is replaced by [pasted ... lines] placeholders - same "[pasted #X Y+ lines]" placeholder behavior instead of actual content
shift+enter keybinding not working #1505: shift+enter keybinding not working - related to multi-line input issues you mentioned

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

You can fix this by adding these lines in your opencode.jsonc

  "experimental": {
    "disable_paste_summary": true,
  },

Anyway it's really strange default behavior and Im also interesting is it intended

@istarkov

Thanks for answering @istarkov! The version is 0.15.23 (as per the GitHub it's the latest one).

How to reproduce is:

copy some small piece of text into a clipboard. In my case it was some points I was making for myself, a sort of TODO list I wanted to give to llm as a prompt:

- don't forget about one thing
- don't forget about the other thing
- do the third thing, but keep in mind the previous two
- also keep in mind that ...
- and consider ...

With this snippet you should be able to reproduce it.

paste the contents of a clipboard to a prompt control (in Ubuntu's 24.04 LTS default Gnome terminal the shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+v). You'll see the effect:

The interesting fact is - if you copy just first three lines, they are pasted as a normal text. So I suppose this behavior is somewhat dependent on the amount of characters / tokens being pasted.

This is intentional behavior, if you submit the prompt it expands it.

In the soon to ship version of opencode using opentui this behavior will be adjusted so that you can expand and edit the contents

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the explanation

I actually liked this features but it seems gone with the 1.X release. Was this intended?

@zippeurfou

@zippeurfou are you talking about ability to disable the paste summary?

@rekram1-node

@rekram1-node thanks for answering. I meant that I liked the fact that when I was pasting clipboard I would see [pasted ...] and not the raw text. However, now I do see the raw text.

@zippeurfou

@zippeurfou hmm what terminal are u in and are u on latest? This doesn't work for u?

@rekram1-node

No it does not @rekram1-node .
I am on iterm2 on macos
I am on v1.0.20

@zippeurfou

@zippeurfou I think it has a minimum # of lines required before it does that. Try pasting a large chunk of text like a code file or soemthing

@rekram1-node

@rekram1-node maybe this was a bad example but long text does exactly the same.

wow weird

im gonna close this one and open a separate issue for u

disable_paste_summary will be respected in next release

workaround:
paste your prompt > displays [Pasted 4 lines]
use the command "open editor" (ctrl+x e) and save > turns the prompt back into text

This is intentional behavior, if you submit the prompt it expands it.

In the soon to ship version of opencode using opentui this behavior will be adjusted so that you can expand and edit the contents

Which version number is mean with the "soon to ship version ... using opentui"? Is this already released, and how to expand the lines?
