What's Wrong?
When I press Shift+Enter the prompt immediately starts, but previously this keybinding started a new line (multiline).
What Should Happen?
Shift+Enter should add a new line.
Error Messages/Logs
/terminal-setup command was invoked earlier.
keybindings.json has:
{
"key": "shift+enter",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"args": {
"text": "\^[\r"
},
"when": "terminalFocus"
},
Steps to Reproduce
- Write some text "I need to do the following:"
- Press Shift+Enter to continue the list.
- Claude starts with just "I need to do the following:" prompt
