DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Ctrl+J inserts a newline in multiline text inputs

Terminal UI not in their notes

Ctrl+J now adds a line break in any multiline input, not just the chat box.

ctrl+j
What

Pressing ctrl+j in any multiline text input now inserts a line break instead of doing nothing, matching the existing chat keybinding.

Details
  • The shared text input component handles ctrl+j when shift and meta are not held and the input is in multiline mode.
  • Mirrors the "ctrl+j": "chat:newline" chat keybinding, so the behaviour is now consistent between the chat composer and other multiline fields.
  • The enter-key newline insert was routed through the same input filter as part of this change.
Evidence

d && Me.ctrl && !Me.shift && !Me.meta && Me.name === "j"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
