Describe the bug
Shift+Return (used for multi-line input) stopped working in v2.1.70. Pressing Shift+Return either sends the message or produces a backslash instead of inserting a newline. Works correctly on v2.1.69.
To reproduce
- Update Claude Code to v2.1.70
- Start a conversation
- Press Shift+Return to try to create a new line
Expected behavior
A newline is inserted in the input, allowing multi-line messages before sending.
Confirmed regression
- v2.1.69: Shift+Return works correctly
- v2.1.70: Shift+Return broken
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.70
- macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Reproduces in both VS Code integrated terminal and Terminal.app
