- description: The OpenCode extension for VS Code, Cursor, and other IDEs
- ---
- OpenCode integrates with VS Code, Cursor, or any IDE that supports a terminal. Just run `opencode` in the terminal to get started.
- ---
- ## Usage
- - **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`.
- ---
- ## Installation
- 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).
- ---
- ### Manual Install
- Search for **OpenCode** in the Extension Marketplace and click **Install**.
- ---
- ### Troubleshooting
- 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
