"textContent": "I’d like to request an option in Codex settings to make **Ctrl+Enter always send** and **Enter always insert a newline**.\n\nRight now, the send behavior changes depending on whether the input is single-line or multi-line:\n\n * when the message is a single line, pressing **Enter** sends immediately\n\n * when the message becomes multi-line, the shortcut changes and **Ctrl+Enter** sends instead\n\n\n\n\nThis inconsistency is easy to trigger by accident, and I often send messages before I intend to.\n\nMy typical workflow is writing detailed prompts and task descriptions, so most of my inputs are multi-line. Because of that, I strongly prefer a consistent editing model where:\n\n * **Enter** always creates a new line\n\n * **Ctrl+Enter** always sends\n\n * this behavior can be enabled as a setting and stays fixed regardless of whether the current text is one line or multiple lines\n\n\n\n\nA configurable option like this would make drafting long prompts much safer and more predictable.\n\nThanks.",
