What's Wrong?

The entire time this app has existed, this feature has been working, but today I am unable to hit Shift+Enter to go to a new line while typing in the chat box. No matter how many times I force quit and re-open Claude, the issue still persists.

What Should Happen?

When you press Shift+Enter, in the text box when you are typing, it should go to a new line without sending the message.

Just like I did here.

None

Steps to Reproduce

  2. type something in the chat box

This will result in sending the message, rather than going to a new line within the chat box.
