There is currently no way to pass structured answer to codex. We should be able to add a new line using shift + enter, or some other mechanism.

That would be neat. Would accept a PR for this improvement!
@tibo-openai checkout #442 for multi-line input using shift+enter
It looks like #438 or #442 eliminated line-wrapping of long single lines of input. IMO the default behavior should be to restore soft line-wrapping of long lines, and allow insertion of hard newlines via shift-enter.
It also looks like one of these (or some other change made today) broke the default emacs key-bindings like ^W and ^U, and modified ^E to launch an editor instead of going to the end of the line.
You can add a new line with Alt + Enter (on linux at least)
What is status of shift+enter for new line?
Alt + Shift + Enter works for this on Windows terminal, but it really should just be Shift + Enter.
Hope it could be shift+enter, which is more common.
Why does Shift+Enter not work? Can't you just, like... codex this feature easily enough?
you'd think they could just have chatgpt fix it all by itself you know?
Current help (?) shows the way: ``
ctrl + j for newline``not for terminals
