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.
