Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. First reproduce the Shift+Down behavior in Warp on macOS with Midnight Commander, then trace the terminal input handling; done means Shift plus arrow keys selects the expected files or directories as it does in other terminal emulators.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.
