Description
Feature request: Configurable submit / newline keybinding
Please allow users to configure which key submits a prompt and which inserts a
new line. Currently Enter submits and Shift+Enter adds a newline, and I often
accidentally submit mid-composition.
A simple toggle would be ideal, e.g.:
- Submit: Ctrl+Enter
- New line: Enter
Similar options already exist in VS Code, Slack, and ChatGPT, so the pattern is
familiar to users. Even a single setting ("Send with Ctrl+Enter instead of
Enter") would solve the problem.

Start at the /chat path and trace the existing Enter and Shift+Enter key handling. Check how prompt submission and newline insertion are wired, then verify that the configured key combination submits while the other inserts a newline without accidental submission.
