Description

Description

With the OpenCode desktop app (Windows), there is no obvious way to connect a provider or add an API key.

  • Typing /connect into the chat/message input sends it to the assistant as a normal message instead of opening the connect flow.
  • There is no visible button in the UI to open the "Connect provider" dialog (the dialog exists but there's no clear entry point).
  • For a non-technical user it is very hard to find out how to add the OpenCode Zen API key.

Expected behavior

A clear, discoverable way to connect a provider in the desktop app, e.g. a prominent button/section (like a "Providers / Accounts" entry in Settings, or an obvious menu item), that runs the same flow as /connect in the TUI.

Environment

  • Platform: Windows
  • App: OpenCode desktop app (Electron)

Note

The same flow in the TUI (/connect) works well — the issue is specific to the desktop UI discoverability
