Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Aug 14, 2025 by simon-ami Closed Aug 18, 2025

Environment

  • Platform (select one):
  • [x] Anthropic API
  • [ ] AWS Bedrock
  • [ ] Google Vertex AI
  • [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
  • Claude CLI version: 1.0.80 (Claude Code)
  • Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04
  • Terminal: Zsh + Alacritty

Bug Description

The tips and /terminal-setup command mention Shift+Enter instead of Alt+Enter.
First one doesn't work, only Alt+Enter.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start Claude Code
  2. try Shift + Enter
  3. Will not produce Newline!

Expected Behavior

Any documentation/tips should mention the correct keybinding and the /terminal-setup should set the correct keybinding, NOT Shift+Enter, but Alt+Enter.

Actual Behavior

Incorrectly labeled.

Additional Context

SOLUTION: Just use Alt + Enter for newlines
