Problem Statement
Lot of users use Shift-Enter to split lines in all kinds of applications.
I sometimes press Shift-Enter by habit in Claude Code CLI and I am probably not the only one.
Proposed Solution
It would be very helpful if the user could use Shift-Enter in Claude Code CLI to write a multi line sentence just the same way as in endless applications, including Claude.AI/chat webpage.
