Description

- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Problem
When /editor or the editor keybinding launches an external editor,
OpenCode blanks its TUI while waiting for the editor process to exit.
For editors that run outside the current terminal, such as:
nvr --remote-waitcode --wait- other GUI or remote editors
the terminal does not need to be released or cleared. Keeping the previous
OpenCode screen visible would preserve useful conversation context while editing.
Expected behavior
Optionally:
- Preserve the last rendered TUI frame.
- Stop accepting TUI input and suspend redraws.
- Wait for the editor process.
- Resume and fully redraw after the editor exits.
Proposed configuration
{
"editor": {
"preserve_tui": true
}
}
