Feature hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Add a configuration option to restore the old behavior where the footer agent display and Tab selector only shows primary agents (excluding subagents).
Since v1.3.4 (March 29, 2026) the footer/Tab selector now includes all agents — primary + every subagent.
Use case / Why this is needed
We rely heavily on the compound-engineering plugin. That package alone registers ~20 agents. Combined with our own custom agents we now have well over 30 entries in the Tab cycle.
Manual switching via the footer has become extremely slow and disrupts daily workflow.
Proposed solution
Add a simple toggle (ideally in opencode.json or a new TUI section):
{
"tui": {
"footerShowSubagents": false
}
}Additional context
OpenCode version: 1.3.17 (and every version after 1.3.4)
This change was introduced alongside the subagent TUI improvements but removed the previous clean primary-only experience for heavy multi-agent users
This small config option would restore the highly usable workflow we had before while keeping the new subagent orchestration features for users who want full visibility.
