native: drop highlights on removed lines when replacing text setText kept user highlights on every stored line, also on lines past the new line count. getHighlightCount and getLineHighlights reported them, and text that grew back into such a line (append) was colored by them. setPlainText now builds the kept highlight lists during preparation, for lines below the new line count only, and swaps them in when it publishes the text, like the styled-text path. The lists past the new end are freed with the old storage. This replaces the in-place internal-highlight filter. The fix covers setText, setTextFromMemId*, setTextFromMemRangeWithUndo (EditBuffer.replaceText), and replaceText (EditBuffer.setText). Source additions (net -5 lines): the staged highlight lists and their cleanup hold the kept highlights until publication, and one comment states the line-count bound.

OpenTUI is a library to build terminal user interfaces.
- It is written in Zig.
- You write TypeScript directly or through React and Solid.
- You arrange boxes and text with flexbox.
- You add selects, inputs, and scroll boxes with keyboard and mouse controls.
- You can play sounds, show images, and render 3D graphics.
OpenCode uses OpenTUI in production for millions of users.

Packages
@opentui/core- Native terminal UI library with TypeScript bindings.@opentui/react- React renderer for building terminal user interfaces with OpenTUI Core.@opentui/solid- Solid renderer for building terminal user interfaces with OpenTUI Core.@opentui/keymap- Key binding and command routing library for terminal and browser applications.@opentui/qrcode- QR code encoder and renderable with React and Solid surfaces.@opentui/three- Three.js WebGPU renderer for OpenTUI.@opentui/ssh- SSH server integration for OpenTUI applications.
Private packages
@opentui/native- Private workspace with the Zig implementation, native tests, and benchmarks.@opentui/examples- Private workspace with example applications and a standalone examples executable.@opentui/web- Private workspace with the documentation website and the AI agent skill.
AI agent skill
Install the OpenTUI documentation as a skill for your AI coding assistant with npx skills:
npx skills add anomalyco/opentui --skill opentui
Add -g to install the skill globally.
Development
Development requires Bun 1.4.1 or later and Zig 0.16.0.
See AGENTS.md for engineering, tooling, and verification conventions.
bun install
Run package scripts from their package directory. Run bun run build from the repository root after you change
native code or cross-package build outputs. Ordinary TypeScript changes do not require a root build.
Run repository tests and static checks from the repository root:
bun run test
bun run fmt:check
bun run lint
To link the source packages into a Bun-managed project, install that project's dependencies, then run
./scripts/link-opentui-dev.sh /path/to/project from the repository root. Add --react or --solid when needed.
