What issue are you seeing?

Shift+Enter is treated as Enter, and the message is immediately submitted instead of inserting a new line.
The issue occurs in both iTerm2 and the default macOS Terminal app, so it does not appear to be specific to a terminal emulator.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
  1. Start Codex CLI.
  2. Focus the prompt input.
  3. Press Cmd+R.
  4. Type a message.
  5. Press Shift+Enter.
What is the expected behavior?

Shift+Enter should insert a new line without submitting the message.

Additional information

It seems that Cmd+R itself may be causing the issue. Could you please confirm?

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcut sequence in Codex CLI 0.154.0 on macOS, using both iTerm2 and Terminal.app: press Cmd+R, then Shift+Enter. Trace the CLI's terminal input handling from that reproduction and confirm that Shift+Enter inserts a newline rather than submitting the message after Cmd+R.
