Problem Statement
It wasn't obvious that I could get the more expected Shift+Enter UX convention if I changed to a different terminal application.
It wasn't obvious that Terminal.app doesn't natively support Shift+Enter the way other terminal applications do.
Proposed Solution
Your code:
description: W0.terminal === "Apple_Terminal" ?
"Enable Option+Enter key binding for newlines and visual bell" :
"Install Shift+Enter key binding for newlines"
suggested change:
description: W0.terminal === "Apple_Terminal" ?
"Enable Option+Enter key binding for newlines and visual bell (Terminal.app doesn't support Shift+Enter)" :
"Install Shift+Enter key binding for newlines"
