What issue are you seeing?
Shift-enter works in the CLI app for inserting newlines. But when presented with a question during plan mode, shift-enter surprisingly submits the answer immediately instead of inserting a newline. This wastes a lot of time and tokens.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Use plan mode such that it asks a question. Then type anything, and press shift-enter
What is the expected behavior?
Either insert a newline, or at least just reject the input instead of submitting the answer! When shift-enter is reliable in other CLI text entry, having it submit an answer prematurely is unexpected and can lead to losing session progress.
