Description
While Codex is working and a follow-up message is queued, pressing Enter with an empty composer should immediately steer the queued message into the active run—equivalent to clicking its steer control.
The existing Enter-key symbol already suggests this shortcut works. Supporting it would make the behavior intuitive and save a mouse click each time.

Research direction
Start by tracing terminal input handling for Enter when the composer is empty, then compare it with the existing queued-message steer control. The work is done when pressing Enter steers the queued message into the active run exactly as the control does, with coverage for the empty-composer case.
