Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

As a developer I would like to use OpenCode from inside the VSCode build-in terminal, in order to avoid excessive context switching. VSCode is essential part of my workflow, to review the changes made by the ai.

Current Behavior (available terminal height of 10 lines):

  • On Welcome screen:
    • From top to bottom, only the big OpenCode logo and two of the help lines /new, /help are visible.
    • The user input is not visible.
    • I can still type my request blindly, press enter, and it works (it's just a visual bug).
  • On Chat screen:
    • header has an empty padding line above
    • chat output is not visible at all
    • The user input occupies three lines, plus one more for model info, plus another one as empty spacer below
    • footer is not visible (good)

Expected Behavior:

  • User input field should be visible on Welcome screen.
  • Chat output should be visible on Chat screen.
  • The Ui may collapse gracefully, hiding less important elements, or replacing them by smaller variants.

Notes:

  • Small height is much more important than small width.
  • Request is about usage on a 14 inch notebook which has 1280x800 effective pixels.
  • Increasing terminal height would cut into the actual VsCode diff view.
  • 'Typical' terminal applications like bash, vim or tmux work are perfectly useable under the same conditions.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #2428: Similar terminal width rendering issues when using opencode in tmux vertical panes with constrained space
  • #3271: Cursor positioning problems when terminal is resized to certain dimensions, affecting usability in small terminal windows
  • #445: Layout issues when running opencode in embedded terminal environments (neovim), showing similar problems with constrained vertical space
  • #532: TUI usability problems in IDE terminals (IntelliJ), indicating broader compatibility issues with integrated terminal environments
  • #1107: Request for more efficient vertical space usage by reducing blank lines and headers - directly related to small screen optimization
  • #2750: Request for compact UI mode and customization options for better accessibility and space efficiency

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

we are currently rewriting the tui and it may better address some of this, feel free to try it (still a wip): bun x opencode-ai@opentui

@ratacat commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2026):

Just a note: the suggested bun x opencode-ai@opentui tag no longer resolves ("Package opencode-ai with tag opentui not found").

Adding another use case here: when using OpenCode in a small/split terminal window, both the header bar and input bar take up a disproportionate amount of vertical space. A config option like tui.compact_mode: true or granular tui.header_height / tui.input_height settings would be very helpful for constrained environments.

Currently the only TUI config options are scroll-related (scroll_speed, scroll_acceleration, diff_style) - nothing for layout/sizing.
