title: TUI
description: Arbeite mit OpenCode in der Terminal-Oberflaeche.
---

import { Tabs, TabItem } from "@astrojs/starlight/components"

OpenCode bietet eine interaktive Terminaloberflaeche (TUI), um mit einem LLM an deinen Projekten zu arbeiten.

Ohne weitere Argumente startet OpenCode die TUI im aktuellen Verzeichnis.

```bash
opencode
```

Oder du startest sie fuer ein bestimmtes Arbeitsverzeichnis.

```bash
opencode /path/to/project
```

In der TUI kannst du direkt mit einer Nachricht prompten.

```text
Give me a quick summary of the codebase.
```

---

## Datei-Referenzen

Mit `@` kannst du Dateien in Nachrichten referenzieren.
Dabei wird im aktuellen Verzeichnis eine unscharfe Dateisuche genutzt.

:::tip
Du kannst `@` in Nachrichten fuer Datei-Referenzen verwenden.
:::

```text "@packages/functions/src/api/index.ts"
How is auth handled in @packages/functions/src/api/index.ts?
```

Der Dateiinhalt wird automatisch zur Unterhaltung hinzugefuegt.

---

## Bash-Befehle

Beginne eine Nachricht mit `!`, um einen Shell-Befehl auszufuehren.

```bash frame="none"
!ls -la
```

Die Ausgabe landet als Tool-Ergebnis in der Unterhaltung.

---

## Befehle

In der OpenCode-TUI kannst du `/` plus Befehlsnamen eingeben, um Aktionen schnell auszufuehren.
Zum Beispiel:

```bash frame="none"
/help
```

Viele Befehle haben auch Tastenkombinationen mit `ctrl+x` als Leader-Key.
[Mehr dazu](/docs/keybinds).

## Editor-Einrichtung

Both the `/editor` and `/export` commands use the editor specified in your `EDITOR` environment variable.

<Tabs>
  <TabItem label="Linux/macOS">
    ```bash
    # Example for nano or vim
    export EDITOR=nano
    export EDITOR=vim

    # For GUI editors, VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, Zed, etc.
    # include --wait
    export EDITOR="code --wait"
    ```

    To make it permanent, add this to your shell profile;
    `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.

  </TabItem>

  <TabItem label="Windows (CMD)">
    ```bash
    set EDITOR=notepad

    # For GUI editors, VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, Zed, etc.
    # include --wait
    set EDITOR=code --wait
    ```

    To make it permanent, use **System Properties** > **Environment
    Variables**.

  </TabItem>

  <TabItem label="Windows (PowerShell)">
    ```powershell
    $env:EDITOR = "notepad"

    # For GUI editors, VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, Zed, etc.
    # include --wait
    $env:EDITOR = "code --wait"
    ```

    To make it permanent, add this to your PowerShell profile.

  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

Popular editor options include:

- `code` - Visual Studio Code
- `cursor` - Cursor
- `windsurf` - Windsurf
- `nvim` - Neovim editor
- `vim` - Vim editor
- `nano` - Nano editor
- `notepad` - Windows Notepad
- `subl` - Sublime Text

:::note
Some editors like VS Code need to be started with the `--wait` flag.
:::

Some editors need command-line arguments to run in blocking mode. The `--wait` flag makes the editor process block until closed.

## Konfiguration

You can customize TUI behavior through your OpenCode config file.

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "tui": {
    "scroll_speed": 3,
    "scroll_acceleration": {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

### Optionen

- `scroll_acceleration` - Enable macOS-style scroll acceleration for smooth, natural scrolling. When enabled, scroll speed increases with rapid scrolling gestures and stays precise for slower movements. **This setting takes precedence over `scroll_speed` and overrides it when enabled.**
- `scroll_speed` - Controls how fast the TUI scrolls when using scroll commands (minimum: `1`). Defaults to `3`. **Note: This is ignored if `scroll_acceleration.enabled` is set to `true`.**

---

## Anpassung

You can customize various aspects of the TUI view using the command palette (`ctrl+x h` or `/help`). These settings persist across restarts.

---

#### Benutzername-Anzeige

Toggle whether your username appears in chat messages. Access this through:

- Command palette: Search for "username" or "hide username"
- The setting persists automatically and will be remembered across TUI sessions
