See https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/628 for why foot terminal handles Shift+Enter and Control+Enter differently than other terminals.

Without these 2 fixes pressing Shift+Enter/Control+Enter in a TextArea causes the whole App to hang for ~10 seconds before inserting the raw escape sequence.

With these 2 fixes Shift+Enter/Control+Enter insert a carriage return.

Hey Daniel, thanks for the PR and the extra context.
Right now, Dave is doing some work on escape sequences in #3800.

I don't understand a lot about control sequences so I need your help to understand this: if these 2 control sequences do not get added specifically for foot and instead they're handled by the general system in #3800 for unknown sequences, what would happen if you hit Ctrl + Enter / Shift + Enter inside a TextArea?

I dug into this a bit more and I was able to find a workaround in foot so this doesn't actually need to be merged.
I think an FAQ like 'Why do I see [27;5;13~ or [27;2;13~ when I press control/shift + enter?' is a better way to handle it.
I'd be happy to write the FAQ if you point me to where it needs to go

Excellent!

I think this is a bit niche for a F(requently)AQ, no?
Of course I may be misunderstanding something, but hitting Shift + Enter / Ctrl + Enter inside a TextArea for me just creates a next line!
(iTerm2 on MacOS).

One thing that would undoubtedly be useful is if you write a sentence or two about what you did on the foot side to circumvent this issue so it's documented here.

I use foot as well and would argue against mapping these combinations to Enter by default. I would like to map shift+enter to other things in my application.
