Mouse capture blocks right-click paste in Windows Terminal #48004
Description
Description
When using the OpenCode TUI inside Windows Terminal (v1.24) on Windows, the mouse option is an all-or-nothing switch:
mouse: true(default): wheel-scrolling of chat history works, but right-click is consumed by the app, soright-click pastedoes not work even though Windows Terminal is configured withinteraction.rightClick: "paste". Pasting only works viaAlt+right-clickorCtrl+Shift+V.mouse: false: right-click paste works (Windows Terminal handles it), but wheel scrolling no longer scrolls the chat view (mouse events are not delivered to the TUI).
Expected behavior
Wheel scrolling and terminal-level right-click paste should be able to coexist. Ideally:
- The
mousesetting should be split, e.g. control wheel-scrolling / left-click separately from right-button capture, so right-click can fall through to the terminal emulator. - Or the TUI should not capture the right mouse button at all, leaving it to the terminal for paste / context menu.
Environment
- OpenCode TUI in Windows Terminal 1.24.11911.0
- OS: Windows
- Config:
~/.config/opencode/tui.json(alsotui.jsonglobal config)
Workaround today
mouse: true + Alt+right-click to paste, or switch mouse: false and give up wheel scrolling in the chat view.

interaction.rightClicksetting or the request to split mouse capture granularity), feel free to clarify and a maintainer can decide whether to keep this open or close it as a duplicate.opencodejr commentedon Oct 28, 2026
Thanks for the detailed write-up, @lybhb8!
You'd like mouse wheel scrolling and Windows Terminal's right-click paste to work together, either by splitting the
mouseoption into finer controls or by having the TUI not take over the right mouse button.Some background on why it works this way now:
mouse: true, OpenCode turns on the terminal's mouse capture. While capture is on, Windows Terminal sends every click to the app, right-clicks included, so its ownrightClick: "paste"action can't run. That's why Alt+right-click and Ctrl+Shift+V still work.terminal.copyisn't"select"(on Windows it defaults to"manual"), right-click copies the current selection. When nothing is selected, right-click does nothing.One option is for right-click with nothing selected to paste from the clipboard, so you'd get copy-or-paste behaviour like Windows Terminal's while keeping wheel scrolling. I've marked this as a feature request for the maintainers to consider.
