Document Ctrl+J as alternative to Shift+Enter for inserting newlines
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Mar 30, 2026 by mgtitimoli Closed Mar 31, 2026
Summary
Ctrl+J inserts a newline in the input prompt, behaving identically to Shift+Enter. This is useful for users whose terminal emulators don't support or can't be configured to send Shift+Enter (common with certain terminals, multiplexers, or SSH sessions).
Request
Document Ctrl+J as an alternative keybinding for inserting newlines alongside the existing Shift+Enter documentation. This could be mentioned in:
- The keybindings help/reference
- The README or docs where Shift+Enter is mentioned
Why it matters
- Shift+Enter doesn't work in all terminal setups
- Ctrl+J is a reliable terminal-level alternative (sends ASCII LF)
- Users currently have to discover this on their own
