About this plugin
Mainstream dsh TUI clients tend to be feature-rich and visually elaborate, often requiring a browser-based workspace picker on launch. If you just want a clean terminal window where you talk to the Agent using only your keyboard, dsh-minitui is built for that. Inspired by OpenCode's minimal aesthetic, the interface contains nothing but an input box, a chat panel, and a status monitor, with no decorative elements or mouse-dependent controls.
Interaction is deliberately keyboard-first: Enter inserts a newline while Alt+Enter sends the message, so you can compose full Markdown without accidental dispatch. Built-in commands include /session for switching or creating conversations within the same workspace, and /model for changing the active model and reasoning tier, currently supporting DeepSeek's own models. No browser, no mouse, just a terminal prompt and a conversation.
The plugin is aimed at backend developers and heavy CLI users who find the dsh web interface or full-featured TUI clients more ceremony than needed. The author intentionally keeps scope narrow and lightweight, prioritizing a dependable agent chatloop over feature sprawl.
Use Cases
- Open a project folder and start chatting with the Agent right in the terminal, skipping the browser workspace picker
- Send, newline, autocomplete, copy, and paste entirely from the keyboard to stay in flow
- Switch or create sessions within the current workspace with a single /session command
Best For
- Developers who prefer a pure keyboard workflow over mouse-driven interfaces
- Backend engineers who want a lightweight TUI without a full web front-end
- CLI power users who value a minimal, distraction-free Agent chat loop
