It is not clear how you actually toggle a tool. I hit enter and was taken to the next step.

Plugins

none

OpenCode version

1.1.26

Steps to reproduce

  1. Do opencode agent create
  2. Get to the step where you're prompted with Select tools to enable
  3. Imagine you're a first time user and don't know that spacebar will toggle the tools

Screenshot and/or share link

  • #8730: [FEATURE]: Keybind hints (requests help system to learn keyboard shortcuts like spacebar)
  • #9447: [FEATURE]: Allow numeric key press to select permissions requests (related unclear selection mechanism in TUI dialogs)
  • #8867: Blocked TAB switching during predefined answer selection (keyboard behavior and focus capture issues in selection UI)
  • #9503: TUI: Commands modal passes Enter key through to the model (unexpected key behavior in dialogs)

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