Paste into Powershell OpenCode instance not working #6560
Description
Description
I can paste just fine into normal PowerShell (Windows 11 Pro) but when in convo in OpenCode, no possibility to paste anything from my clipboard.
Right click usually pastes clipboard into Powershell, doesn't work in OpenCode, and ctrl+v also does nothing.
I can type text just fine, the LLM works, responds, etc.
Have only just tried on Windows Powershell and this is very tough to work with.
OpenCode version
1.0.213
Steps to reproduce
Open PowerShell (Admin Mode)
cd to directory of choice (/Development/project/
type opencode, hit enter
Copy text from any source like webpage (highlight text ctrl+c)
In opencode chat box, hit ctrl+v to paste
Not pasting clipboard contents
Right click mouse (alternate paste method)
Does not paste clipboard contents
Can type normally in opencode
Screenshot and/or share link
No response
Operating System
Windows 11 Pro
Terminal
PowerShell

Still believe this is a valid report, as it may explain a more fundamental reason paste is broken in other "powershell wrappers" like VSCode, Cursor, and WSL, which works through PowerShell.
This is a baremetal test in a raw powershell window, you can paste into powershell just fine, but as soon as you are running opencode, that ability is lost.

I confirm the bug you have identified. I am currently using version v1.1.14, and when launching OpenCode in the Command Prompt (CMD) on the Windows system, the text pasting function is still unavailable — you can only manually type in text and commands in the dialog box. I have no idea what is causing this issue.

I found that in Windows, if you open it using the PowerShell terminal from VSCode, pasting images works fine.

Is there any work around for this coz pasting is all i do while using clis

For anyone using Windows Terminal - it captures Ctrl+V by default without forwarding it to OpenCode. More details in #8490 on how to disable that default behavior. I also opened pull request to add Alt+V for image pasting, which aligns it with Claude Code and Copilot CLI, and works with default settings for Windows Terminal: #8495

I have found since the latest 1.1.36 version of OpenCode and using PowerShell 7.0 (must separately install this) that Paste and Copy functionality works exceptionally well !

On newer version right click doesnt work, ctrl-v doesnit work. But just tried
ctrl+shift+v
and that did the trick !

This issue seems to still persist in the latest version of OpenCode.
I'm currently running Windows 10 with the latest OpenCode CLI inside the native PowerShell environment. Whenever the TUI initializes, the clipboard (
Ctrl + Vand right-click paste) completely stops working, forcing me to manually type everything out.Could we please re-open this issue? It really ruins the CLI experience for Windows users who aren't using WSL.

PowerShell in Windows 10 reproduces the paste error. No way I can paste there.
