Bug report

On Codex version 0.128.0 on my MacBook, Shift+Enter no longer inserts a new line
in the prompt input.

Previously, pressing Shift+Enter allowed me to create a new line without submitting
the message. In the latest version, it behaves like Enter and submits the message
instead.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex.
  2. Type a message in the prompt input.
  3. Press Shift+Enter.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior

Shift+Enter should insert a new line in the input without submitting the message.

Actual behavior

Shift+Enter submits the message, same as pressing Enter.

Impact

This makes it difficult to write multi-line prompts, code snippets, or structured
instructions before sending.
