Unable to copy terminal output to clipboard on macOS #7134
Description
Problem
When using OpenCode's integrated terminal, users cannot copy text from the terminal output using Cmd+C on macOS. The keyboard shortcut appears to be intercepted by the TUI before it reaches the system clipboard.
Expected Behavior
Users should be able to select text in the integrated terminal and copy it to the clipboard using standard macOS shortcuts (Cmd+C), so they can paste it into the chat input or other applications.
Current Behavior
Pressing Cmd+C after selecting text in the integrated terminal does nothing - the text is not copied to the clipboard.
Environment
- macOS
- OpenCode TUI with integrated terminal
Suggested Solutions
- Pass through
Cmd+Cto the system when text is selected in the terminal - Add a right-click context menu with "Copy" option
- Add a keybind specifically for terminal copy (e.g.,
Cmd+Shift+C)
Use Case
Users often need to copy error messages, file paths, or command output from the terminal to paste into the chat for context or to reference in their queries.

What integrated terminal? Are you using a fork? Opencode does not yet have an integrated terminal officially. From the TUI itself select should automatically copy the selected text on mouse button release currently. There are too many conflicting keybindings that would make it impossible to use the OS defaults, also their capture is not supported by all terminals.

I can confirm this issue also occurs on Ubuntu with the default terminal. Running OpenCode v1.1.4, I am able to select text and receive a copy confirmation notification, however the text is not actually copied to the clipboard.

I've created a pull request (#7220) to fix the clipboard error handling issue. This PR enhances the clipboard functionality across all platforms with improved error propagation and exit code checking.

I have the same issue on iterm2.
It do not allow me to use cmd+c to copy, instead, it copies when I select any text /facepalm.

The copy / paste hijacking really makes it hard to use opencode.

#12800 still open why is this closed?

cmd+c cannot be captured reliably in terminals, because the terminal app captures it and does not pass it through to applications. That is a terminal limitation.

I found a workaround for Terminal.app in macOS.
Just press Cmd+R to disable "Allow Mouse Reporting", or deselect this option in the View menu of Terminal.app.
This is very useful if you are using ssh to connect to a remote host to run OpenCode.
