What's Wrong?
When I launch this command on Windows terminal, it doesn't switch to shift + Entrée and remain on ctrl with this strange message. Please advice :
/terminal-setup
⎿ Terminal setup cannot be run from windows-terminal.
This command configures a convenient Shift+Enter shortcut for multi-line prompts.
Note: You can already use backslash ( + return to add newlines.
To set up the shortcut (optional):
- Exit tmux/screen temporarily
- Run /terminal-setup directly in one of these terminals:
• Windows: Windows Terminal
• IDE: VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed
• Other: Alacritty, Warp
- Return to tmux/screen - settings will persist
Note: iTerm2, WezTerm, Ghostty, and Kitty support Shift+Enter natively.
What Should Happen?
when you launch this command, the keyboard should switch to shift + Enter instead of ctrl + Enter
