   I think I encounter a similar issue. Just posting here to double check if it is related.

   Environment

   • Windows 11
   • Windows Terminal with Git Bash
   • opencode updated today via scoop

   Issue

   Sometimes when I use Ctrl + V, opencode displays Pasted ~xx lines and sometimes it just pastes whatever is in the clipboard as input. The latter is very annoying, since it will submit multiple messages, and often open multiple sessions that start doing mysterious things in the background.

   I haven't found a pattern to this, but these things seem to make the issue less likely:

   • A newly opened opencode
   • When pasting at the beginning of a prompt.

   Environment:

   • OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (kernel 6.8.0-90)
   • VS Code: 1.108.2 (c9d77990917f3102ada88be140d28b038d1dd7c7)
   • Shell: /bin/bash
   • OpenCode: 1.1.34

   Repro:

   1. Open VSCode integrated terminal
   2. Run opencode
   3. Try Enter / Shift+Enter / Ctrl+Enter — all submit immediately, no way to insert newline

   Note: Ctrl+J and Ctrl+V are intercepted by VSCode; Shift+Enter doesn’t insert newline here.

   My setup is one step further:

   🟩 Host: Laptop with Win11
   🟩 WSL: Inside Win11 I run WSL with Ubuntu 20.04
   🟩 Docker: Yet the ubuntu in WSL is not the one running the OpenCode. It runs a docker engine. Inside the docker engine I run a container with Ubuntu 24.04
   🟩 OpenCode: It runs in a bash, in the inner ubuntu, which is running in a docker container, which is run by the docker engine running in the outer ubuntu, which in turn runs on the WSL.

   To CLI-in I have this in windows:

   🟧 One small icon with this command: C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe -c /files/bin/sf7 where the script /files/bin/sf7 lives in the WSL filesystem. And sf7 does this: docker exec -u ubuntu -it devel-sf7 bash -c 'cd '${PWD}'; exec ${SHELL}'

   This way, clicking this icon in windows directly enters into a bash.exe (windows) which takes me -with one single click- into the bash inside the "inner ubuntu".

   This setup has been working for years. I can successfully paste there in the terminal with right-click. I can paste in bash, in nano, in Aider, in ClaudeCode... But I can't paste in OpenCode.

   Desired workflow

   I just want to use OpenWhisper to dictate OpenCode what I want. OpenWhisper transcribes and then "pastes" wherever you are (notepad, google drive, or the bash!) but with OpenCode it can't paste what I dictate.
