Opencode v(0.1.152) not working on my Windows 11

[JDhruv14]

After successful OpenAI API login, launching opencode.exe results in a stuck on homepage with just /command interface that just shows up but can't use it anything that shows up with no ability to type or interact, making the CLI unusable on Windows 11. Additionally, the inability to install via npm install blocks alternate setup paths.Even this shortcut keys doesn't work. This needs urgent fixing or at least proper logs and instructions to debug, so users can actually test and use the tool as intended.

Hii @thdxr I downloaded the latest version and still it ain't working. I'm not kidding. I can provide you with video if you think I'm bluffing.

same, nothing is interactive or typeable

I have this issue with 0.1.173. Windows 11 Powershell and cmd. The slash commands work but nothing else does. I am logged into Claude pro plan. This was installed with the .exe download.

BTW - I think if you get opencode workin with Claude in Windows it could be very popular, at least until there is Windows Claude Code version. Us WIndows users are second class citizens when it comes to these tools.

Yuppp, what @davidanew said is exactly what I'm facing as well

Input issues might be related to num lock (see charmbracelet/x#485). Can you try turning off num lock?
