Windows Terminal + WSL: Ctrl+V text paste works but image paste is inconsistent

[dhruvkej9]

Description

Running OpenCode in WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04 inside Windows Terminal shows inconsistent Ctrl+V behavior.

Text paste can work, but image paste can fail depending on terminal keybinding handling and whether bracketed-paste signaling is forwarded.

OpenCode config details (from ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json):

• model: openai/gpt-5.3-codex
• plugins: @mohak34/opencode-notifier@latest, oh-my-openagent@3.14.0
• MCPs configured: gitnexus (enabled), chrome-devtools (disabled), playwright (disabled), sap-cap-capire (disabled), ui5-tooling (disabled), fiori-tools (disabled)
• experimental.mcp_timeout: 180000

Plugins

@mohak34/opencode-notifier@latest, oh-my-openagent@3.14.0

OpenCode version

1.3.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Run OpenCode in WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04 from Windows Terminal.
2. Keep default Windows Terminal Ctrl+V paste behavior.
3. Copy plain text and paste into OpenCode with Ctrl+V (works).
4. Copy an image to clipboard and paste into OpenCode with Ctrl+V (fails or is inconsistent).
5. Compare behavior with a custom Windows Terminal keybinding that also sends an empty bracketed-paste marker.

I encountered the same issue. However, disabling the Ctrl+V shortcut in the terminal settings allows Ctrl+Shift+V to paste text and Ctrl+V to paste images. It's a bit cumbersome, but it works.

I have fixed this in the linked PR

Even after disabling the Ctrl+V shortcut in Windows Terminal, version 1.4.7 still doesn't work; I cannot paste images into WSL using Ctrl+V.

I encountered the same issue. here is my workaround.

Workaround that fixed it for me without any code change — just config.
Drop this into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (global) to bind Ctrl+X V as a fallback for Ctrl+V:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "keybinds": {
    "input_paste": "ctrl+v,<leader>v"
  }
}

Default leader is Ctrl+X, so Ctrl+X then V triggers the same paste path. Because V arrives as a regular keypress after Ctrl+X, the terminal has no reason to intercept it, which bypasses whatever swallows Ctrl+V.

Environment where this was confirmed working:

• opencode: 1.4.11
• Windows Terminal on Windows 11: 1.24.10921.0
• WSL: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on WSL2 (kernel 6.6.87.2)

Try this, it may paste the image 2 times you can remove one (but it works) (earlier it pasted image only 1 time but with updates it now pastes 2 images)

Thanks for flagging the double-paste! That's actually a structural side effect of the multipleActions approach on recent Windows Terminal + opencode 1.4+, not something tweakable via defaults.

Two paths end up inserting the image:

1. WT's built-in paste action. Recent WT versions surface image clipboard content through the bracketed-paste pipeline, so opencode's onPaste reads the clipboard once and attaches the image.
2. The appended \u001b[200~\u001b[201~ empty bracketed paste then hits opencode's fallback in prompt/index.tsx (the if (!pastedContent) branch), which calls Clipboard.read() and attaches the image a second time.

Previously only path 2 fired, which is why it used to insert once. As WT's paste pipeline improved, path 1 started overlapping with it, so the image now lands twice.
