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.
