Originally created by @jtorrex on GitHub (Jan 21, 2026).

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Problem: When composing multi-line messages in Opencode, pressing Enter sends the message immediately, making it difficult to write formatted code blocks or multi-line responses without using workarounds.

Requested Feature: Add support for Shift+Enter to insert a new line while keeping Enter as the send command.

Use Cases:

  • Writing multi-line code examples
  • Formatting markdown with line breaks
  • Composing structured explanations with paragraphs
  • Pasting code snippets with proper formatting

Expected Behavior:

  • Enter → Send message (current behavior)
  • Shift+Enter → Insert new line (new behavior)

This pattern is common in CLI tools and chat interfaces (e.g., ChatGPT, Discord, Slack) and would improve the user experience for composing complex multi-line content.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #4938: Keyboard shortcuts to edit prompts suck so much! - Specifically mentions shift+enter not working for new lines
  • #1505: shift+enter keybinding not working - Documents that shift+enter doesn't insert newlines as expected
  • #4189: Line breaks do not work any more in the latest version - Reports shift+enter sending message instead of creating line breaks
  • #4997: Keybinds - Pinned issue documenting multiline input (shift+enter, ctrl+enter) as a known keybind issue

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

For keybind-related issues, please also check our pinned keybinds documentation: #4997

need to know your terminal, this should already work unless:

  • your terminal doesnt support it
  • your terminal needs to have configured modifiers so the tui can actually intepret it as a shift enter instead of enter

FWIW I upgraded ubuntu to 25.1 and seemingly this keybind broke completely in ghostty. After some digging it needed this added into ghostty config:

keybind = shift+enter=text:\x1b\r

Reload of terminal and opencode and it all worked again. This has been reported a few times on claudecode also with the same changes needed.

I tried this on multiple different terminals on windows but doesn't work at all. I thought I was going crazy because I thought it was strange that opencode missed a simple and important feature like this but I guess it's just broken or the terminals fault.

same here. I don’t see any issue in implementing it, or even adding an option for users to test it.

Thank you for this! In case anyone's like me and remaps caps lock to ctrl - new line is working for me in Ghostty/Tmux on MacOS with:

ctrl (physical caps lock) + shift + j

Same issue here, using macos + ghostty + tmux
ctrt + shift + j works, but it would be great to have shift + enter working universaly
