claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Ability to add newlines to messages in claude code by hitting shift enter just like in all chat systems. [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Modify the input handling to allow Shift+Enter to insert a newline without submitting the form.

Guidance

• Investigate the current event handling for the Enter key to determine how to differentiate between a regular Enter press and a Shift+Enter press.
• Consider adding a configurable delay between Enter key press and form submission to allow for interception, as an alternative solution.
• Review the existing code for any similar keyboard shortcut handling that could be leveraged for this feature.
• Determine the best approach to handle newline characters in the prompt text, ensuring proper formatting and display.

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific technology stack and frameworks used in the project.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a configurable delay between enter and trying to action the request remotely, allowing users to intercept and format their input without submitting the form prematurely. This approach provides a flexible solution that can be adjusted to suit different user needs.
