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

I would like the cmd+ESC shortcut to toggle the visibility of the opencode terminal, or have another shortcut for hiding it.

Why? Because I would like to use the opencode extension in the same manner as I use the builtin terminals in vscode where I bring a terminal up when needed and hide it when no longer needed.

Reading the source of the vscode extension creates a Terminal that runs/connects to opencode with a random port and shows this terminal. I looked up the documentation and there does appear to be a hide function for terminal. However I do not know any of the potential pitfalls...

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

  • #11803: Add setting to disable console/terminal view by default - This addresses a similar use case of controlling terminal/console visibility

For keybind-related issues, please also check our pinned keybinds documentation: #4997

#11803 - appears to be about the opencode desktop app - not the vscode extension.
#4997 - does not seem relevant - I am suggesting changes to an existing keybind or adding a new keybind.
