Description
In the VS Code Claude Code extension, when an AskUserQuestion dialog is answered via the "Other" free-text option, pressing Enter inside the text input does not submit the answer. The only way to submit is to click the "Submit answers" button with the mouse.
Steps to Reproduce
- Trigger an
AskUserQuestiondialog in the VS Code extension - Select "Other" and type a custom answer in the text box
- Press Enter
Expected Behavior
Pressing Enter while focused in the "Other" text input should submit the answer, consistent with how Enter works for single-select/multi-select options (arrow keys + Enter, or number key + Enter).
Actual Behavior
Enter does nothing (or is consumed by the text field itself, e.g. as a newline). The dialog stays open and the user must move to the mouse and click "Submit answers" to proceed.
Environment
- Claude Code VS Code extension
