Description
The input hint says Shift+Enter should insert a new line, but that does not work for me.
When I press Shift+Enter in the composer, nothing happens. The only way I can insert a new line is with Ctrl+J.
This is confusing because the on-screen hint explicitly says Shift+Enter should work.
I tested this in:
- Alacritty
- Ghostty
Expected behavior:
- Shift+Enter inserts a newline in the input box
Actual behavior:
- Shift+Enter does not insert a newline
- Ctrl+J does insert a newline
Environment:
-
macOS 15.6.1
-
Apple Silicon
-
kit installed with:
go install github.com/mark3labs/kit/cmd/kit@latest

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shortcut in the composer and tracing the input handling and the UI hint that names Shift+Enter. Compare its behavior with Ctrl+J in the reported macOS terminal environments. Done means Shift+Enter inserts a newline and the documented hint matches the working behavior.
