Problem Statement

For now, run /terminal-setup inside vscode terminal, will append following to shortcuts.json:

    {
        "key": "shift+enter",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
        "args": {
            "text": "\\\r\n"
        },
        "when": "terminalFocus"
    }

but the disavantage is will append \ ant end:

Proposed Solution

better solution:

    {
        "key": "shift+enter",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
        "args": { "text": "\^[\u000A" },
        "when": "terminalFocus"
    },

will get perfect experience:
