TL;DR

The issue with Shift + Enter not inserting a newline in Codex CLI input may be resolved by checking for updates or configuration changes related to keyboard shortcuts.

Guidance

  • Verify if the issue is specific to the current version of Codex CLI (0.128.0) by checking the release notes for any known issues or changes related to keyboard shortcuts.
  • Check the Codex CLI documentation or settings for any configuration options related to keyboard shortcuts, specifically Shift + Enter, to see if there are any changes or customizations that could be causing the issue.
  • Test the Shift + Enter shortcut in a different terminal emulator or environment to isolate if the issue is specific to the current setup.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex CLI support or community forums for further assistance, as the issue might be related to a specific configuration or version compatibility.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the expected behavior or any additional context, which might be crucial for a more precise diagnosis. The guidance provided is based on the assumption that the Shift + Enter shortcut was previously working as expected.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the lack of information about the expected behavior and the specificity of the issue to the current version and setup, applying a workaround such as using an alternative method to insert newlines or adjusting the terminal emulator settings might be the most practical next step.
