    This is how I got it to work. The ghostty part may help: https://petar.dev/notes/copypaste-for-opencode-with-ghostty-and-tmux/

    Can confirm. I have 1.1.48 and 1.1.49 open in different containers. I can copy from 1.1.48 but not 1.1.49.

    Subject: [Bug] Text not copied to clipboard despite "Copied to clipboard" notification (v1.2.4)

    Describe the bug
    I am unable to copy text from either the input or output windows. When I highlight text, the application displays a "Copied to clipboard" overlay and immediately deselects the text. However, the clipboard remains empty (the text is not present in the clipboard buffer).

    To Reproduce

    Open OpenCode 1.2.4 on Linux Mint.

Select any text in the input or output window.

See the "Copied to clipboard" message and the text being un-highlighted.

Attempt to paste (Ctrl+V or Middle Click) in any other application. The buffer is empty or contains previous data.

    Environment:

    OpenCode Version: 1.2.4

OS: Linux Mint

Terminals tested: Mint Terminal (GNOME Terminal), Tilix.

Display Server: X11 (default for Mint)

    Additional context
    The issue persists across different terminal emulators, suggesting it might be related to how the application interacts with the system clipboard or the primary selection in a Linux environment.

    如果使用linux的朋友，确认你的桌面，执行命令echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE ，如果是x11: sudo apt install xclip 如果是wayland: sudo apt install wl-clipboard，应该能够解决

    感谢您提供的解决方案！我在终端中执行 echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE，得到的结果是 tty（我是在纯 TTY 控制台下工作，而非 X11 或 Wayland）。

    请问在这种环境下应该使用什么工具或命令来实现复制/粘贴？是否有推荐的包可以安装？

    期待您的进一步指导，谢谢 @VedaChen

    或许你可以尝试使用ssh工具来连接你的linux，然后ssh工具中启动opencode并复制粘贴试试？

    能否把这个功能干掉，这个功能真的是bug,我都可以手动复制，非得把我选中的东西取消？

    Image 复制的地方啥都没有，你不取消我还能自己手动复制

    buddy, can you please use english so everyone can collaborate?

    Came up with this issue too. WHY need you cancel my selection at all? I can copy by my own at the first place! T

    Could you get rid of this feature? It’s really a bug—I could just manually copy, but it cancels my selection instead, leaving nothing to copy? If you didn't cancel my selection, I could just copy it manually.

    Came up with this issue too. WHY need you cancel my selection at all? I can copy by my own at the first place! Totally AGREE!

    If you run opencode within tmux, tmux will intercept the OSC52 sequence by default, rendering the copy function completely ineffective.
    Solution:
    echo "set -g allow-passthrough on" >> ~/.tmux.conf
    tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

    Having the same issue on Linux with konsole on KDE and xfce4 terminal on xfce4, I don't think this bug is terminal or DE/display protocol specific

    Solution found: install xclip

    sudo apt install xclip
    My environment:

    • Ubuntu 26.04 + Ptyxis + Wayland
    • OpenCode 1.15.5
    • No multiplexers (tmux/zellij)

    Why it works: OpenCode seems to use xclip as a fallback for copying to the clipboard when OSC52 fails (which happens in certain Linux terminals with Wayland).
    Before this, auto-copy-on-select showed "Copied to clipboard" but never reached the clipboard. After installing xclip, it works perfectly.
    Note: the solution is simple and doesn't require changing terminals or disabling Wayland. Hope this helps other users with the same issue.

    export OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_DISABLE_COPY_ON_SELECT=1
    export OPENCODE_DISABLE_MOUSE=1

    You can first disable it, and then use the copy-paste function of your own tool. This will prevent the scrolling function from working.
