| --- |
| |
| OpenCode integrates with VS Code, Cursor, or any IDE that supports a terminal. Just run `opencode` in the terminal to get started. |
|
|
| --- |
| |
| |
|
|
| - **Quick Launch**: Use `Cmd+Esc` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Esc` (Windows/Linux) to open OpenCode in a split terminal view, or focus an existing terminal session if one is already running. |
| - **New Session**: Use `Cmd+Shift+Esc` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+Esc` (Windows/Linux) to start a new OpenCode terminal session, even if one is already open. You can also click the OpenCode button in the UI. |
| - **Context Awareness**: Automatically share your current selection or tab with OpenCode. |
| - **File Reference Shortcuts**: Use `Cmd+Option+K` (Mac) or `Alt+Ctrl+K` (Linux/Windows) to insert file references. For example, `@File#L37-42`. |

|
|
| To install OpenCode on VS Code and popular forks like Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium: |
|
|
| 1. Open VS Code |
| 2. Open the integrated terminal |
| 3. Run `opencode` - the extension installs automatically |
|
|
| If on the other hand you want to use your own IDE when you run `/editor` or `/export` from the TUI, you'll need to set `export EDITOR="code --wait"`. [Learn more](/docs/tui/#editor-setup). |

|
| If the extension fails to install automatically: |
|
|
| - Ensure you’re running `opencode` in the integrated terminal. |
| - Confirm the CLI for your IDE is installed: |
| - For VS Code: `code` command |
| - For Cursor: `cursor` command |
| - For Windsurf: `windsurf` command |
| - For VSCodium: `codium` command |
| - If not, run `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux) and search for "Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH" (or the equivalent for your IDE) |
| - Ensure VS Code has permission to install extensions |
