Problem

With Send shortcut → Enter, Shift+Enter can submit instead of inserting a newline in iPad Safari's Home Screen web app (#14869). The reporter's native keyboard trace contains shiftKey: true; ProseMirror's iOS Enter fallback later calls the composer with a synthetic Enter event that has no modifiers.

Change

Route non-composing iOS Shift+Enter through the existing composer key handler from handleDOMEvents.keydown, before ProseMirror replaces the event. Other modifiers and active composition retain their existing paths. The same editor covers rich-text and plain-text mode. The custom path retains the disabled-view guard and the native keydown path's deferred DOM-observer flush before invoking commands; the latter uses a narrowly typed ProseMirror internal property because no public flush API is exposed.

Scope and approval

This is a small, focused correction of the documented Shift+Enter behavior, submitted under the small obvious-bug exception. It adds one guard and regression coverage; it introduces no setting or product-behavior choice. Related maintainer triage and the identified iOS fallback candidate. That triage is not presented as approval of this implementation.

Fixes #14869.

Verification

  • Failing test first: the new browser test initializes the iPad desktop Safari identity before ProseMirror is evaluated, then dispatches hardware-style Enter events with fake timers. On the unpatched base, both rich/plain cases hit the unmodified synthetic Enter and call the submission callback. With the fix, Shift+Enter inserts a newline without submission, plain Enter still submits once, and active composition stays untouched even if the event's isComposing flag is false.
  • Review regressions (fa312ab): both rich/plain cases now also replace native text and move the DOM caret while an observer flush is deferred. Without the flush, the middle-of-text newline corrupts the draft (line! one\n one instead of line!\n one); with it, the text and caret are synchronized before splitting. Separate cases focus the composer, disable it, and verify Shift+Enter invokes no command and leaves the draft unchanged. All four cases failed before these corrections and pass after them. This models a deferred observer, not a new physical iPad reproduction.
  • Published release check: separately downloaded the official 0.1.2-nightly.20261022.3512 macOS arm64 archive and verified SHA256. In its unpatched client, the same automated iOS-path replay reaches the editor with shiftKey absent and consumes Shift+Enter without adding a paragraph. A separate editor copy with the proposed guard preserves Shift and adds the paragraph. Original release files were not modified. This is Chromium exercising the iOS code path, not a physical Safari reproduction.
  • Real device: iPadOS 26.6.1, Magic Keyboard (hardware 0007, firmware 0400.0140.0303), Home Screen standalone web app, Send shortcut Enter. On the reporter's installed 0.0.46-nightly.20261014.3093, Shift+Enter submitted before the patch. After a client-only backport, Shift+Enter followed by plain Enter produced one two-line message; the new trace has no beforeinput: insertParagraph for Shift+Enter while plain Enter retains it. An unmodified latest-nightly test on the physical iPad is still outstanding.
  • vp run check:changed — format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and 18 tests across 3 files passed, on base 96bae5465bc5.
  • vp run --filter @t3tools/web build — passed on the initial PR head 05996a2; not repeated for the review corrections.

Automated replay evidence (the explanatory overlay belongs to the test harness):

Before: released iOS fallback After: proposed handler
Shift is absent at the editor handler; no newline Shift reaches the editor handler; newline is inserted

Before/after recording. These are test artifacts hosted on the fork, not application releases or physical iPad recordings. No evidence assets or local diagnostic/backport code are included in the PR.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 05996a2

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped iOS keyboard bug fix that preserves Shift+Enter by routing the original event through the existing composer handler, while leaving other Enter and composition paths unchanged. Its accompanying browser test covers both editor modes and the relevant submission and newline behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

The composer now routes eligible iOS Shift+Enter events to ProseMirror keydown handlers. Browser tests cover newline insertion, submission, composition, and disabled-editor behavior in both rich-text modes.

Changes: iOS composer keyboard handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Route iOS Shift+Enter and verify editor behavior

Explanation

Issue #14869 requires Shift+Enter to insert a line break without sending in the iPad Safari web composer. The supplied change summary reports an iOS-specific guard that forwards non-composing Shift+Enter before ProseMirror removes the modifier. The regression test covers rich-text and plain-text modes, newline insertion, no submission, plain Enter submission, active composition, and the disabled editor guard.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The supplied change evidence shows one focused change in the shared composer editor and one regression test file. The test supports the linked behavior in both editor modes. No unrelated product setting, native iOS change, or separate feature is shown.

- Line 1167: Update handleDOMEvents.keydown to return false when view.editable
is false before forwarding Shift+Enter, so a disabled composer cannot insert a
newline.
- Line 1180: In the custom Shift+Enter keydown callback, flush pending DOM text
before forwarding the event through view.someProp("handleKeyDown", ...), so the
newline transaction uses the latest editor state. Add a regression test
verifying text inserted immediately before Shift+Enter is preserved alongside
the newline.
