Problem Statement

At the moment I can't divide my prompt visually for me for multi-line command. i may copy-paste some text and cannot add a command. when i press enter (even with combination of shift or ctrl) it is sent to a backend.

Proposed Solution

design usable multi-line approach (e.g. break the line with shift+enter or ctrl+enter).

Alternative Solutions

at the moment I've noticed that i can add backslash \ and i can write in another line but that's terrible.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity
