Can't add line breaks with Shift+Enter in terminal since 1.8.0 #4008

Hi ! Adding line breaks in the terminal when prompting Claude doesn't work for me since updating 1.8.0.
Thank's for your work on this projet btw, great tool.

Oh weird this should've been fixed, sorry about that will look

Trying to reproduce the issue, are you able to share any specifics such as OS version and keyboard layout (usually US but perhaps we missed something)

I'm on macOS 26.2, MacBook Air M4, on an ISO AZERTY French keyboard. Shift+Enter doesn't work for me, but Cmd+Enter works though, as GH action bot pointed out, but it's less practical. I also found out that clicking on the text doesn't move the cursor when in Claude CLI. I have to use the keyboard to navigate, but this one doesn't really bother me. I can provide more info if needed.

I had same problem this morning… but only on terminal windows that existed before installing new version. If I start new terminal window/tab it works as expected again. Restarting Claude on pre-existing terminal sessions still exhibits the buggy behavior.
MacOS 26.3.1 (a). Standard U.S. layout.

I am also having this issue. It's a bit annoying because it works the exact opposite of all my terminals and TUIs. Would love to see this fixed. I'm on M4 Macbook Air MacOS 26.2. Standard US apple magic keyboard. Using Superset 2

Closing as a duplicate of #5604, the consolidated tracker for stale
terminal-inputissues from the July 2026 stale-issue sweep (no activity since 2026-06-01). If this still applies on a current build, comment on #5604 and we'll reopen.
