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
- Open Claude Code
- Start typing a message in the input prompt
- 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)
