What issue are you seeing?
When using MacOS native terminal hitting shift command doesn't go to a new line, which is fine, but the usual terminal escape pattern with \ is not working either so I don't have a way of dropping to a new line and I need to use the VSCode terminal.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

hi @ZeldOcarina , does ctrl + j work for you?
Nope, not a duplicate of this issue @codex
@zhao-oai It does!! I didn't know of this shortcut.. I feel though \ and/or Cmd+Enter should work too!
great! :)
Ok so the / and command enter not working are expected behavior?
