What issue are you seeing?

I'm really struggling with the behavior of the Return key in the Codex extension on VS Code and Codex. Pressing return submits the prompt if it's a single line, or else it creates a newline if it's a multi-line prompt. While I understand what you folks were going for, this is entirely unlike any behavior I've ever seen and it almost always results in mistakes.

Thanks!

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Type or paste multi-line text.
  2. Press return to submit, but get a newline instead.
  3. Curse at the extension.
  4. Cmd-return to submit.

What is the expected behavior?

Pressing return should always submit, regardless of presence of a newline.
