README:

NOTE: This is ONLY for use within CSCode-like. I don't fw trying to figure out keymappings for terminal progs; they always end up as some unholy combo of bash nerdery, terminal futzing. XInput smashing, and lord only knows what kind of abomination the Wayland architects have conjured...

TL;DR - Nuke ALL existing SHIFT+ENTER mappings from orbit (I truly cannot be fscked to ass around and figure out the conflict here).

The important bit is last in the list

    {
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
        "key": "shift+enter",
        "args": {
            "text": "\u001B\u000A"
        },
        "when": "terminalFocus"
    }

i.e. use Unicode escapes instead of jacking around with escape characters.

Manifesto:

AI types need to

• Stop trying to ignore WELL-ESTABLISHED keymaps and come up with your own: e.g.
  • CTRL-K as a sequence prefix in VSCode (and earlier editors, IIRC)
  • SHIFT+ENTER see above, this should be the default, and should work properly/consistently on ALL claude-code platforms (but I'm not here to single out Anthropic)
• Learn proper Python (e.g. I don't care how meaningful s (x, y, z, m, xs, ms, etc. to infinity) is in your mathematics - it is NOT a human-readable identifier in any sane programming language)
