[BUG] Terminal TUI does not insert a new line with Shift+Enter; only Ctrl+J works

The Terminal TUI does not recognize Shift+Enter as a new line input. Only Ctrl+J successfully inserts a new line.

Here’s a screen recording demonstrating the issue:

/help commands wrap onto next line oddly #2725: /help commands wrap onto next line oddly - mentions input_newline command wrapping, suggesting TUI input handling issues

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

@H0llyW00dzZ what terminal are you using?

@rekram1-node I'm using the default terminal that comes with Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin)—that’s the distro I’ve been using.

It's GNOME 48

I also found a workaround: if start the line with a backslash (\) and then press Shift+Enter, it works as expected.

It might also be helpful to automatically insert a backslash when Shift+Enter is pressed—consider adding this in a future update.

this is a duplicate of: #1505

The issue here is opencode isn't able to capture the shift+enter at all it isn't an issue of issuing a backslash vs a newline

Normally this is because you have a conflicting keybind causing shift+enter isn't sending the correct thing
