   This would be really interesting to me as well on the Desktop App! Claude Code handles this nicely (uploaded a screenshot from their Settings on VSCode)

   It could be as simple as adding that checkbox I uploaded above - or just two new shortcuts on the settings (line break and input submit)

   The Codex desktop app does it the same way and it's particularly nice when writing multi-line prompts (which for me is most of the time).

   Surprising bug to let thru, for such an otherwise prominent program. Obviously should have been fixed immedately ... last month.

   That said, came here to let others know that one workaround, in the meantime, is use Ghosttly and add this to config:

   # Swap Enter and Ctrl+Enter for OpenCode
   keybind = enter=text:\n
   keybind = ctrl+enter=text:\r

   This will be very useful; in most cases, I hit Enter to add a new line.

    +1 - confirming this is still an issue in the desktop app on Windows (v2.1.0).

    Desired behavior: Enter inserts a newline, Ctrl+Enter submits the message.
    Current behavior: Enter always submits, and the documented input.submit / input.newline overrides in cli.json are ignored by the desktop composer.

    An app-level option (like the "Enter sends message" checkbox in other AI chat clients) would solve this for desktop and web clients - multi-line prompts are quite common, and the current behavior causes accidental sends.
