codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Use Return for newline; Cmd+Return to submit [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Modify the Codex app's composer to insert a newline on Return regardless of existing newlines and submit on Cmd+Return.

Guidance

• Review the composer's current implementation to identify the conditional logic that only inserts a newline if a newline already exists.
• Update the logic to always insert a newline when the Return key is pressed, and submit the prompt when Cmd+Return is pressed.
• Consider adding an option or setting to allow users to choose between the current behavior and the proposed behavior.
• Test the updated composer to ensure it behaves as expected in different scenarios, such as when the prompt is empty or already contains multiple lines.

Notes

The feasibility of this modification depends on the specifics of the Codex app's architecture and the technologies used to implement the composer.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the composer's logic to always insert a newline on Return and submit on Cmd+Return, as this change aligns with standard chat/composer UX patterns and improves usability.
