oc-ctrl-enter-force-import

OpenCode TUI plugin that force-submits the current prompt with Ctrl+Enter.

It interrupts the active OpenCode run first, then submits the prompt so the message does not sit behind the current generation queue.

Install

Add the plugin package to ~/.config/opencode/tui.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "plugin": ["@mynameistito/oc-ctrl-enter-force-import"]
}

OpenCode will install the package when the TUI starts. Restart OpenCode after changing plugin config.

For local testing, clone the plugin somewhere stable:

git clone https://github.com/mynameistito/oc-ctrl-enter-force-import.git

Build it:

bun install
bun run build

Add the built TUI plugin file to ~/.config/opencode/tui.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "plugin": ["file:///C:/path/to/oc-ctrl-enter-force-import/dist/tui.mjs"]
}

Restart OpenCode after changing plugin config.

For standalone testing from ~/.config/opencode/plugins, add the file to ~/.config/opencode/tui.json as a TUI plugin:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "plugin": [
    "file:///C:/Users/you/.config/opencode/plugins/oc-ctrl-enter-force-import.ts"
  ]
}

OpenCode's default input_newline binding includes ctrl+return, which can make Ctrl+Enter insert a newline before this plugin sees it. Remove ctrl+return from input_newline in your tui.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "keybinds": {
    "input_newline": "shift+return,alt+return,ctrl+j"
  }
}

Behavior

The plugin registers high-priority TUI keybindings for ctrl+return and ctrl+enter, both mapped to a custom command that:

1. Dispatches OpenCode's built-in session.interrupt command.
2. Repeats session.interrupt to pass OpenCode's guarded abort flow when a generation is active.
3. Dispatches OpenCode's built-in prompt.submit command.

It does not change your tui.json, so any existing input_submit or input_newline preferences stay intact.

Because OpenCode's managed textarea keybinds run on the focused prompt, ctrl+return must not also be bound to input_newline.

Windows Terminal

Many terminals send plain Enter for Ctrl+Enter unless configured. In Windows Terminal, add this action to the root-level actions array:

{
  "command": {
    "action": "sendInput",
    "input": "\u001b[13;5u"
  },
  "id": "User.sendInput.CtrlEnterCustom"
}

Then add this keybinding to the root-level keybindings array:

{
  "keys": "ctrl+enter",
  "id": "User.sendInput.CtrlEnterCustom"
}

Open a new Windows Terminal tab after saving the settings.
