[FEATURE] Option to show all sessions in the session list without repeated 'Load more' #46123
Description
Describe the enhancement you want to request
The session list in the sidebar (TUI, desktop app and web) is paginated: to reach older sessions you have to click "Load More" multiple times. With many sessions this is tedious, and there is no way to display the whole list at once.
I checked the current TUI docs and the live schema at https://opencode.ai/tui.json: there is no option like session_list_limit (or equivalent) to control this.
Proposed behavior
Add a configurable setting in tui.json, e.g. session_list_limit, that accepts a positive integer or "none" (show all sessions). This would avoid the repeated "Load More" clicks for users with hundreds of sessions.
Current workarounds
/sessions(ctrl+x then l) opens the searchable session picker to jump to any session.

+1 on the pain — clicking Load more N times to reach an old session gets old fast.
Until there's a
session_list_limit: noneoption, I sidestepped pagination entirely with oos: it loads all sessions fromopencode.dbup front (SQLite, read-only) and filters in memory, so the full history is searchable from the first keystroke — no Load more, no per-project scoping.https://github.com/wsaaaqqq/oos (MIT, single binary, zero config)
