   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • opentui not able to use "alt" keybinds #3219: Similar OpenTUI leader key issue on macOS with Ghostty (closed - may have resolution)
   • challenges with key bindings #1108: General key binding challenges on macOS + Ghostty environment

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

   This also shows up when I hit <ctrl+alt+d>

   Just to update, still having this issue on 1.0.49, this works before so Im hoping this can be fix.

   Im usingalt+c as my leader key, all other keybinds is working aside from input_submit.

   The reason why I did because of this issue with zellij
   zellij-org/zellij#4159

   I can’t enter a new line with shift+enter, though it works outside Zellij with using shift+return in Ghostty
   #1505 (comment)

   It’s not a blocker since I can still use Opencode normally, but it’d be great if this could be fixed for consistency.

   I'm experiencing this issue on v1.0.109.
   Frustratingly plain-old-key return/enter submits the text... this is really what I am trying to prevent.

       "leader": "ctrl-x"
       # ...
       # borked: return, enter, linefeed
       "input_submit": "<leader>enter",
       # ...

   Workaround: Kinda pointless, since enter always submits, but anyway ctrl-enter or ctrl-return does submit the text.

   The Alacritty workaround for input_newline reported here (#4046 (comment)), but has no effect, and appears to be a distinct issue with <leader> key.
