Session rename dialog: auto-select text or start empty for faster renaming #6153
Closed as not planned
Description
Hey team! 👋
Love opencode - using it daily. Small UX papercut with session renaming:
Current behavior:
When I hit the rename keybind, the dialog opens with the full current session name pre-filled. Since auto-generated names are often long, I have to manually delete everything before typing my new name.
Suggested improvement (either would work great):
- Auto-select all text on dialog open - so I can just start typing to replace
- Start with empty field - current name could show as placeholder/ghost text
Why it matters:
Session renaming is a quick organizational task - the friction of clearing the field each time adds up when you're managing multiple sessions throughout the day.
Thanks for considering! Happy to help test if you want feedback on an implementation.
