What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?

Adding enter: chat:newline to keybindings breaks all other chat:submit bindings for text messages.

What Should Happen?

What Should Happen?

meta+enter and cmd+enter should still submit text messages regardless of whether enter: chat:newline is present.

Environment

macOS (Tahoe 26.4.1)
Terminal: Warp v0.2026.04.29.08.57.stable_01
Shell: zsh
Claude Code: latest 2.1.133

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1 — Add these bindings and test:

{
  "context": "Chat",
  "bindings": {
    "ctrl+enter": "chat:submit",
    "meta+enter": "chat:submit",
    "cmd+enter": "chat:submit"
  }
}

Result: meta+enter and cmd+enter submit text correctly. ctrl+enter does not work.

Step 2 — Add enter: chat:newline and test again:

{
  "context": "Chat",
  "bindings": {
    "enter": "chat:newline",
    "ctrl+enter": "chat:submit",
    "meta+enter": "chat:submit",
    "cmd+enter": "chat:submit"
  }
}

Result: ctrl+enter does nothing. meta+enter and cmd+enter now insert a newline instead of submitting. No binding submits a text message.

My issue is slightly different to these other issues. For me, "enter": "chat:newline" works, however it breaks the alternative methods to send text. Noting that it does still work for slash command submissions.

I have the same issue as @Baanrow - searching for it brought me to this page, so I'm glad to at least know it's not just on my end.

The fix in v2.1.141 successfully resolved this for standard text prompts, however the bug is still present when using slash commands.

I am now on Claude Code 2.1.144
OS: macOS
Terminal: Warp
Claude Code CLI
I note this fix was released with 2.1.141
My relevant keybindings are as below;

    {
      "context": "Chat",
      "bindings": {
        "ctrl+enter": "chat:submit",
        "enter": "chat:newline",
       }
    },

Note that ctrl+enter does now correctly work for sending text prompts.
Pressing enter does correctly create a new line in the input window.

What's Wrong

Bringing up a slash command then pressing ctrl+enter does not send the slash command.

What Should Happen

Bringing up a slash command then pressing ctrl+enter should send that slash command.
