I'd love if this is merged. Its annoying to do multi-line with such a beautiful library. Only thing missing imo. |
This way they pass in every timezone.
Now double-enter submits unless you set `showSubmit`, then we show a submit button

Running `panel` with no arguments now opens a multi-line prompt that sends the typed text to every configured agent, replacing the previous help-text behavior. The TUI is styled like clack's text prompt and lists the target agents above the input. - Vendor a MultiLinePrompt built on @clack/core (until clack ships its own textarea in bombshell-dev/clack#240); extends the installed Prompt base class and uses an error-state workaround to veto the base class's submit-on-return since 1.2.0 lacks the _shouldSubmit hook. - Intercept Shift+Enter at the raw stdin level via the kitty keyboard protocol (\x1b[>1u / \x1b[13;2u) so plain Enter submits and Shift+Enter inserts a newline. Alt+Enter works as a fallback in terminals that don't speak kitty keyboard. - Bump @clack/prompts to 1.2.0 for the styleText-based colors and updated wrapTextWithPrefix signature.

@clack/promptsmultilineDifficulties and workaround
Issue: The
returnkey is used to submit the prompt and is hardcoded, so impossible to insert new lineSolution: Make the submit key configurable (see:
packages/core/src/prompts/prompt.ts:{22,53,210})Issue: The default cursor management use vim mapping, so when pressing letter
k,j,horlto add those letter, the cursor also moves.Solution: Re-implementing of the cursor management without vim mapping (see
packages/core/src/prompts/multi-line.ts:29)Issue: The event
keylower the inputted char, so uppercased char are never displayedSolution: Create a new event
rawKeyto send the untouched value (also used for the cursor management)
