Question

In the official OpenCode TUI documentation (https://opencode.ai/docs/tui/#username-display),
there is a section about “Username display” for toggling whether the username appears in chat messages.

However, I couldn’t find any corresponding implementation or behavior in the current TUI:

  • No config option in opencode.json for username display
  • No TUI command handling that feature appears to trigger anything

It doesn’t seem to work or may no longer be implemented.

Operating System: Windows 11

This issue appears to be related to several existing TUI settings and display discrepancies. You may want to check these related issues:

  • #11189: Feature Request for configurable TUI settings management
  • #10571: Add tui.tips configuration option to disable input placeholder hints
  • #11305: Add configurable cursor style for TUI textareas
  • #7287: experimental.text.complete hook output not reflected in TUI display
  • #6240: Add hints toggle to declutter UI
  • #6169: TUI picker does not display all custom provider models

These issues highlight similar patterns where TUI configuration options are either missing or where there are discrepancies between expected behavior and actual implementation. If you're investigating the 'Username display' feature, you may find insights in how other similar TUI display settings are handled.
