Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 13, 2026 by loeck Closed Apr 13, 2026

Description

Pressing Shift+Enter in Claude Code does not insert a newline / line break in the input field. The expected behavior is to allow multi-line input without submitting the prompt.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Start typing a message in the input prompt
  3. Press Shift+Enter

Expected behavior

A newline is inserted in the input, allowing multi-line messages before submitting.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens, or the message is submitted (same as pressing Enter alone).

Environment

  • OS: macOS
  • Claude Code version: (please fill in)
