Can't Paste content from clipboard

By any means I can't paste from clipboard, nor by middle
clic, left clic, Cntrl+V, Shift+Cntrl+V, Insert, absolutely ANYTHING.

I am about to clone the code and ask gemini-pro to revise it for me if there is anything in the code that hinders me hehe 😣

How to reproduce:

Install as npm i -g opencode-ai@latest . [Current version: 0.2.33]
Open as opencode
Insert your API Key.
Paste your prompt that you have in clipboard. It just doesn't paste.

What I tried:

All the paste combination that I humanly know mouse, keyboard, etc..
Tried from MobaXterm remote SSH machine (linux endpoint)... nothing.
Tried on WSL2 in windows... didnt work either.

Am i missing something?
I did a quick search in the Issues and I haven't found something related, so hopefully this is not a duplicate issue.

Best regards,
Nelson.

the default keybind for pasting text/images is ctrl+v, but depending on OS this can be troublesome. if you're running on linux, there should be some log output saying whether it found a clipboard tool in your PATH. can you paste some logs here? https://opencode.ai/docs/troubleshooting/#logs

Running apt install -y wl-clipboard as per noted in the docs fixed it for me (Arch, GNOME Wayland).
I'm using opencode inside a distrobox, had to restart the container to make the newly installed dependency work.
Thank you.

Hi, I come back just to report that it is working now simply using Cntrl+V (In Ubuntu 25.04 Wayland | Windows 10 , in both).
Did you fix it in a recent update?
I appreciate it so much, it is working now !! 🥹🥹🥹
God bless 🤗

this feature only works on models that support image as an input right? (anthropic models i.e?)

if you wanna send a model images then yeah it needs image support, openai and google both have models that support image inputs not just anthropic, there are others too

Using Gemini 2.5 Pro on Opencode and it says it cannot access images :/

gemini 2.5 pro can definitely access images, if it says otherwise it is probably due to the previous context in session confusing llm

Using wsl in wezTerm under windows, I had to use Ctrl-Shift-V to paste text.

This is still an issue. Windows 10. wsl kali-linux. OpenCode 1.0.129
I'm just trying to paste in some text.

CTRL-V - nothing
SHIFT-CTRL-V - nothing
???

Win 11.
I confirm also with mobaxterm not working also not working the right mouse.
ssh via powershell works with ctrl+v but not with right mouse.
Also in git bash no ctrl+v and no right mouse
Seems something intercepts the right mouse click blocking the paste.
Quite annoying

i am on win 11 25h2 and have wsl (debian) and can copy and past (select the code and then right click to paste). But it would be great to document that better.

I can't paste text on Mac with Ghostty terminal. cmd + v doesn't work at all and cmd + shift + V is pasting something that I haven't actually copied.

EDIT: To explain a little better:

I can paste text copied from the opencode conversation
I can't paste copied from outside, anywhere outside
I can paste normally in Ghostty, it just doesn't work in opencode.

ctrl-shift-v works to paste here on Fedora 43, however, opencode comes back with Could not process image and stops.

Annoying stupid bug.

to paste, make sure something is in the buffer in windows, mouse over and ctrl+x or ctrl+c

go to your SSH session and click on the text input window
press shift + insert to paste.

this works on local terminal and SSH.
tested with mobaXterm and it works.

But on a MacBook keyboard, there is no dedicated Insert (Ins) key.

what happens when i run opencode inside a tmux inside a docker container, i don't think installing wl-clipboard will fix it, because there are no wailand in docker container...

still not works on fedora 43 (on cinnamon x11), ctrl+shift+v paste the old clipboard content.
xsel and xclip are installed
Opencode CLI 1.2.24 on Gnome-terminal (whole OS updated)

Same for me. Running opencode in tmux in wezterm in Ubuntu 25.10 x86.
Tried more vanilla Ubuntu using distro default terminal without tmux. Still can not paste.

Yes its still a problem... could be fixed easy... Btw. SHIFT+CTRL+V works, but is not nice for muscle memory..

Ghostty on cachyOS here.

What a pain! Haha

Why is this an issue at all??? Isn't it normal to copy and paste?

So, today I just installed opencode in WSL Ubuntu. Opened it in my project directory in WSL.

I have a prompt in Notepad++ in Windows I need to paste into opencode. Why can't I? Cntrl + V, Cntrl + Shift + V. nothing... what else?

Installed ALL these one-by-one per documentation to check which one will work:
apt install -y xclip
apt install -y xsel
apt install -y xvfb

Shutdown WSL. Reopened Ubuntu and opencode

Still not pasting text copied from Windows!

I can paste it into the Ubuntu terminal even without installing those!

This is weird. You know what worked for me?

I run opencode (not the extension) in VS Code terminal connected to WSL. Opened it in my Ubuntu project directory where I am working then pasted the prompt.

Just to be clear, the solution suggested above and what worked for me is

paste into opencode with: Shift + Insert

The Insert key for me is above Delete on the keyboard

Are there any solutions for MacOS?

weird cntrl+v worked as in windows :)

For those who feel pain with windows: Enable this tick in the window properties and live ...

on windows also SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK worked for me to paste into the opencode session

on windows also SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK worked for me to paste into the opencode session

This one worked for me, I'm using Ubuntu Server via SSH on Windows 11!
