Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

It is possible I missed a config but on ghostty in Wayland I can't paste with middle click like in other TUI apps like lazygit.

This would be a nice to have for those of us with that muscle memory.

    Extra note: Works in VSCode's terminal, not in Alacritty.
    Guessing it's VSC injecting it manually.

    @thdxr Is that something you'd be open to have added as is or does it need more details/discussion? I'd be happy to implement. I'd imagine that would require some opentui changes too.

    i am having same issue in fedora 42 X11. Especially annoying when quickly copypasting error messages from tests to prompt..

    I'm experiencing the same issue on CachyOS with KDE Plasma Wayland.

    Environment:

    • OS: CachyOS (Arch-based)
    • Desktop: KDE Plasma Wayland
    • Terminal: Ghostty 1.2.3-arch2.1
    • Mouse paste methods that don't work:
      • Middle-Click (Primary Selection)
      • Right-Click context menu (Clipboard)
    • Paste methods that work: Shift+Insert (Clipboard)

    Details:
    Pasting text into OpenCode prompts doesn't work with either mouse-based clipboard mechanism available in Ghostty. Middle-Click (Primary Selection) and the Right-Click context menu (Clipboard) both fail. However, Shift+Insert works reliably. Interestingly, pasting works perfectly fine in regular Ghostty outside of OpenCode using both methods.

    Additional info:
