Please add a configuration option to disable the console/terminal view in the opencode interface by default. Users should be able to enable it explicitly when needed, for example via a toggle or keybind like terminal_toggle.\n\nThis would help users who don't need the console unless specifically required.\n\nSuggested implementation: Add a new setting in opencode.json, e.g., under 'tui' or 'experimental' section: 'disable_console': true

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

  • #8063: Don't toggle console for non-critical issues (requests console visibility control similar to this feature)
  • #11015: Console toggle interaction issues with command list (directly discusses console toggling functionality)
  • #10571: Add tui.tips configuration option (parallel feature request following the same tui config pattern)
  • #11305: Add configurable cursor style for TUI (another tui section configuration option)
  • #10490: Add config option to disable copy-on-select behavior (follows the same tui configuration pattern)

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

I have problem that every time I open opencode it opens console and it overlaps the view. I can hide the console in menu via "Toggle console" but I have to do this all the time. How can i disable it forever by default?
