Feature hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

When pasting content into the TUI, OpenCode collapses it to [pasted ~ X lines] instead of showing the actual text. This makes it impossible to verify what was pasted before sending.

Users of dictation software (like SuperWhisper on Windows) rely on pasting transcribed text. Currently, they cannot see what was dictated and must blindly send it or use /editor as a workaround every time.

Add a setting in tui.json to control this behavior:

"collapse_pastes": false
}
When false, pasted content would display inline like regular typed text, allowing users to review and edit before sending.
Alternative
A keyboard shortcut to expand/collapse pasted content on demand would also work.

OpenCode version

1.2.27

Steps to reproduce

1. Open OpenCode TUI in any project
2. Copy any multi-line text to clipboard (e.g., a paragraph, code snippet, or dictation output)
3. Paste into the message input (Ctrl+V or right-click paste)
4. Observe: Input shows [pasted ~ X lines] instead of the actual text
5. Press Enter to send - text is processed but user cannot verify/edit it first
   Expected: Option to see pasted text inline
   Actual: Text is collapsed with no way to expand it

Operating System

Windows 11

Terminal

Windows Powershell

Additional issue on Windows Desktop App:

The /editor command doesn't work in the Desktop app even after setting EDITOR environment variable via setx. Desktop apps on Windows don't inherit environment variables from the terminal.

Suggested fix: Add an editor setting in opencode.json config file so users can configure the editor without relying on environment variables.

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

• [FEATURE]: Allow to expand the pasted text (e.g. [Pasted ~1 lines]) #8501: Requests the same feature — an option to expand/show pasted text inline instead of collapsed [Pasted ~X lines]
• [FEATURE]: Desktop prompt option to collapse/obfuscate large pasted text as [Pasted ~N lines] #15405: Related discussion about collapsing/obfuscating pasted text behavior (opposite perspective but same underlying feature area)

If your request is already covered by one of the above, please add a thumbs-up reaction or comment there rather than opening a new issue.

FYI - this can already be achieved with this config:

  "experimental": {
    "disable_paste_summary": true,
  }

(see the config schema for more info https://opencode.ai/config.json)

Perhaps this could be productized and documented in a more obvious way

Thank you so much! @justfortheloveof 🙏
I've added the config to my opencode.json and it works perfectly:

"experimental": {
"disable_paste_summary": true
}

This solves my issue with SuperWhisper dictation - I can now see and verify what I pasted before sending. Really appreciate the help!
