ctrl+enter and shift+enter do not work on linux

[webczat]

Hi,
ctrl+enter and shift+enter keys don't work on linux and an alternative would be kinda useful.
Note from what I know, this is not a dotnet bug, as linux generally sends enter, ctrl+enter and shift+enter the same way. at least this is the case on my terminal emulator.

Hi, I'm not Linux user, so I don't have experience with it, but when i try simplest repro:
var key = Console.ReadKey();
and press Control+Enter
on Windows I get:

and on Linux (Ubuntu) the key modifiers are empty:

so we just don't see the Control modifier.

From this, it looks to me like a bug in .NET.

In the new release of CSharpRepl, you will be able to set up custom keybindings for this (#67, #73).

Also see dotnet/runtime#802, scheduled for .NET 7.

pretty sure it is unfixable on dotnet side, as in, it's the way how terminals on linux work. on windows you can actually read keys, on linux you cannot, you just read special character sequences, and from what I know ctrl+enter or shift+enter don't generate anything different than just enter, so dotnet might have nothing to fix.

In any case, we can't do anything about it - it will be solved or not in .NET 7. Not the solution is to use different key bindings.
Configurable key bindings are done but not released yet.
I'm closing this issue with it.

either configurable key bindings or an alternative/unix only key binding would be okay. so yeah that should work.
