What's Wrong?

I use Claude Code in VS Code. When entering instructions in "Ask Claude" I often need a line break to give bullet-like instruction. For this I am using Shift-Enter like in ChatGPT chats. However this disturb my keyboard next to freezing it. Mouse is unaffected. The keyboard disturbance extends to everything else on my Win 11 PC. Win-keyboard is Danish. The problem can only be mediated by rebooting the PC (and loosing everything, if so)

What Should Happen?

New line should come
