Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.915.31029

What subscription do you have?

plus

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

In the Windows desktop app, I set:
Send shortcut → Always Ctrl+Enter

Expected behavior:

Enter = native Enter behavior of the editor
Ctrl+Enter = send message

Actual behavior:

In the ChatGPT view, Enter still sends the message in some composers.

Please do not implement this by remapping Enter to Shift+Enter. In rich-text/Markdown editors, Enter and Shift+Enter can have different semantics.

The setting should only disable “Enter to send” and preserve the editor’s native Enter behavior.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

Start at the Windows desktop app's Send shortcut setting and the ChatGPT view composers, then trace how “Always Ctrl+Enter” is applied. Reproduce the issue with Enter and Ctrl+Enter in the affected composers; done means Enter keeps the editor's native behavior while Ctrl+Enter sends the message.
