Originally created by @vasilvestre on GitHub (Sep 4, 2025).

I can't ctrl + C and when I select text, "Copied to clipboard" text appears but the clipboard content isn't changed.

I have no debug information so far, I would like some guidance.

I have xclip, xsel, and wl-clipboard installed and Copy is still not working.. nothing is on my clipboard at all - Ubuntu 22.04 - default Gnome-based terminal.

Any suggestions @vasilvestre / @adamdotdevin ?

Perhaps if there's an issue using the clipboard - it should error/warn the user?

Looks like you have to hard exit opencode to get it to detect/pick-up the clipboard packages. Thanks

I have the same issue which I just reported and closed after the bot told me that this issue is already covered here.

I keep coming back to try opencode every few months, but this type of issue suggests to me that nobody is really using opencode on a linux desktop or that linux is a second class citizen in the eyes of opencode, because an inability to copy/paste is a foundational part of any application, full stop. Opencode is the only terminal application I have used on Ubuntu in several years that blocks copying & pasting.

we definitely don't view it as a second class citizen, some of the maintainers have/currently use arch. The tui is currently being rewritten and I think these pesky issues that are behaving inconsistently for some OS/terminals should be fewer and further between

Hope to have this better addressed for you very soon.

I use Pop-os, I just had to install the package in the troubleshot page and it worked. Pay some respect to OSS maintainers please.

I am paying respect by reporting that the bug exists and conveying honestly what I'm experiencing as a user.

I could have fixed it myself for myself and not reported it as most people do with Ubuntu desktop apps.

Fix it, don't fix it, it's not my problem. You're welcome.

Looks like somebody fixed it, still a bit odd (on Ubuntu 25 Wayland the user hsa to click on an icon that shows up in the dock in order to get the content onto the clipboard) but it works even with that extra step, thanks!

I am running latest v0.15.10, running on a remote machine via ssh. If I use mac terminal to ssh copy and paste doesn't work, I've tried tmux and other suggestions from chatgpt, but I cannot get it to work. If I connect to the machine through vscode ssh and run opencode from a vscode terminal, copy and paste does work. Any suggestions on getting it to work in mac terminal? Actually I just downloaded iterm and it works (I'm on gf macbook, also too old for ghostty), so I'm happy now, anyway leaving this here for additional data. Prob just conclude that mac terminal is shit and shouldn't be used.

FWIW, it's working for me on Ubuntu now, i've tried VS Code terminal, Ptyxis, and default Terminal. What it does on Ubuntu is non-obvious, you THINK it is not copying, but if you go look at your dock, you'll see a little settings icon pop up, you have to manually click that icon to get whatever is in the opencode buffer into your clipboard. Super annoying at first, now kind of don't notice it except when I have copied something previously and forgotten, then you have to click it once for each copy you didn't previously retrieve from buffer.

Definitely odd behavior though, I've never seen that in any app.

Putting this here for anyone else searching this issue like I was: I installed xsel and then if I am holding shift and selecting the text I am able to paste what I selected with right click.. Without shift, it doesn't work. Not sure if xsel is key here or not as I haven't tried without it.

Please could the guys from Opencode please add this to the troubleshooting page...
