Shift+Enter and Opt/Alt+Enter have inserted a literal newline into the
command editor since the multi-line prompt editor landed in 54825d3, and
only a plain Enter submits. But the chords were hardcoded in the editor's
key handler, so `InsertNewline` was not a name the keymap knew: nothing to
put in `keybindings` in config.json, no row in Settings -> Keybindings, and
no way to move the gesture to a chord of your own.
Register it like every other action. `InsertNewline` is Terminal-scoped
(the handler lives on the terminal surface, as ClearScrollback and the find
trio already are) and the "enter" arm of the editor dispatcher no longer
looks at modifiers at all — the keymap dispatches the action before the key
reaches the dispatcher, so there is one implementation rather than two that
can drift.
The action ships with both of today's chords. A binding spec cannot express
alternatives — whitespace in a spec means a sequence, `ctrl-b n`-style —
and the effective table holds exactly one keystroke per action, so the
table carries shift-enter and alt-enter is installed alongside it, but only
while the action still sits on its default. Rebind it and both old chords
are retired, which is what moving a binding is supposed to mean.
The prompt editor alone answers it. With a foreground application on the
pane, the search field focused, or a completion menu / reverse search
holding the keyboard, the handler propagates, so the chord takes the exact
path it took before this action existed — a full-screen program still
receives Shift+Enter as its own chord under the Kitty protocol. Plain Enter
still submits, and the secondary-enter / secondary-shift-enter window
bindings are untouched.

A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
- Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
