Problem

With Send shortcut → Enter, Shift+Enter can submit instead of inserting a newline in iPad Safari's Home Screen web app (#14869). The reporter's native keyboard trace contains shiftKey: true; ProseMirror's iOS Enter fallback later calls the composer with a synthetic Enter event that has no modifiers.

Change

Route non-composing iOS Shift+Enter through the existing composer key handler from handleDOMEvents.keydown, before ProseMirror replaces the event. Other modifiers and active composition retain their existing paths. The same editor covers rich-text and plain-text mode. The custom path retains the disabled-view guard and the native keydown path's deferred DOM-observer flush before invoking commands; the latter uses a narrowly typed ProseMirror internal property because no public flush API is exposed.

Scope and approval

This is a small, focused correction of the documented Shift+Enter behavior, submitted under the small obvious-bug exception. It adds one guard and regression coverage; it introduces no setting or product-behavior choice. Related maintainer triage and the identified iOS fallback candidate. That triage is not presented as approval of this implementation.

Fixes #14869.

Verification

  • Failing test first: the new browser test initializes the iPad desktop Safari identity before ProseMirror is evaluated, then dispatches hardware-style Enter events with fake timers. On the unpatched base, both rich/plain cases hit the unmodified synthetic Enter and call the submission callback. With the fix, Shift+Enter inserts a newline without submission, plain Enter still submits once, and active composition stays untouched even if the event's isComposing flag is false.
  • Review regressions (fa312ab7): both rich/plain cases now also replace native text and move the DOM caret while an observer flush is deferred. Without the flush, the middle-of-text newline corrupts the draft (line! one\n one instead of line!\n one); with it, the text and caret are synchronized before splitting. Separate cases focus the composer, disable it, and verify Shift+Enter invokes no command and leaves the draft unchanged. All four cases failed before these corrections and pass after them. This models a deferred observer, not a new physical iPad reproduction.
  • Published release check: separately downloaded the official 0.1.2-nightly.20261022.3512 macOS arm64 archive and verified SHA256. In its unpatched client, the same automated iOS-path replay reaches the editor with shiftKey absent and consumes Shift+Enter without adding a paragraph. A separate editor copy with the proposed guard preserves Shift and adds the paragraph. Original release files were not modified. This is Chromium exercising the iOS code path, not a physical Safari reproduction.
  • Real device: iPadOS 26.6.1, Magic Keyboard (hardware 0007, firmware 0400.0140.0303), Home Screen standalone web app, Send shortcut Enter. On the reporter's installed 0.0.46-nightly.20261014.3093, Shift+Enter submitted before the patch. After a client-only backport, Shift+Enter followed by plain Enter produced one two-line message; the new trace has no beforeinput: insertParagraph for Shift+Enter while plain Enter retains it. An unmodified latest-nightly test on the physical iPad is still outstanding.
  • vp run check:changed — format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and 18 tests across 3 files passed, on base 96bae5465bc5.
  • vp run --filter @t3tools/web build — passed on the initial PR head 05996a2; not repeated for the review corrections.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 05996a2

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped iOS keyboard bug fix that preserves Shift+Enter by routing the original event through the existing composer handler, while leaving other Enter and composition paths unchanged. Its accompanying browser test covers both editor modes and the relevant submission and newline behavior.

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to 1d747

iPad hardware Shift+Enter now inserts a newline instead of submitting. A narrow edge case remains: confirming an IME composition with Shift+Enter may add an extra line break. This is low risk and worth fixing or accepting before merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): preserve Shift+Enter on iPad hardware keyboards" names the main change: the composer keeps Shift+Enter as a newline on iPad hardware keyboards. The raw summary describes an iOS-only Shift+Enter detector that routes the event through the existing keydown handler, which matches the title. It follows the conventional commit format the template suggests.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections explain the iOS Shift+Enter bug and the routing fix. Scope links issue #14869 and explains the small-bug exception. Verification lists focused browser tests, a release replay, a physical iPad run, and the repo check command. The author states that an unmodified latest-nightly test on a physical iPad is still outstanding, and the linked PR comment says the pipeline will not merge until that test is done. The description is mostly complete, so it passes. The remaining gap is that the Scope section cites a 'small obvious-bug exception' and maintainer triage, and the template asks for a clear link to the bug. The description is also long and mixes in evidence that is not a physical reproduction, which makes it harder to review.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #14869 requires Shift+Enter to insert a line break, not submit, in the iPad Safari web composer. At head 1d74727, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx adds isHardwareShiftEnterOnIOS. It matches only when isiOS() is true, view.editable is true, key is Enter, shiftKey is set, altKey/ctrlKey/metaKey are not set, view.composing and event.isComposing are false, and keyCode is not 229. Matching events enter the handleDOMEvents.keydown branch. That branch calls domObserver.forceFlush() and then runs the handleKeyDown props with the original event, so Shift survives ProseMirror's iOS Enter fallback. Non-matching events return false and keep their existing paths. Rich-text formatting shortcuts keep their earlier branch and precedence. The regression test file covers rich-text and plain-text modes: newline insertion without submission, plain Enter submission, active composition, deferred observer flush with caret sync, and the disabled-composer guard. Residual uncertainty: the code and tests were not rerun in this review. The automated tests use a Chromium iOS-path replay. The unmodified latest-nightly test on a physical iPad is outstanding, so device-level behavior is not independently confirmed.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against merge base f5ae8088 touches the composer component and its iOS browser test file. The component change adds the iOS hardware Shift+Enter guard, the keydown routing for that guard, and a narrowly typed domObserver.forceFlush call. The forceFlush call supports the deferred-observer objective stated in the PR and issue #14869. The test file covers the same objective. No setting, native iOS change, or unrelated feature appears in the component diff. The approval-exception discussion in the PR description is a process matter and does not change code scope. The file listing was truncated, so the full file-level scope was verified from the component diff and the previous assessment's file list, not from a complete listing.

Do not edit a disabled composer.

If the composer retains focus after disabled becomes true, Shift+Enter can still reach handleDOMEvents.keydown. ProseMirror runs that custom handler even when the view is not editable. Forwarding the event can therefore insert a newline into a read-only draft. Return false when !view.editable. (github.com)

✅ Addressed in commit fa312ab

Addressed in fa312ab7: the custom handler now returns false for !view.editable before invoking any command. Added regression cases that focus the composer, switch disabled to true, and verify Shift+Enter leaves the draft unchanged and invokes no command, in both editor modes. These cases failed before the guard and pass with it.

@Fastdesigner The !view.editable guard now returns before forwarding Shift+Enter to the command handlers. This addresses the disabled-composer finding. Thanks for adding regression coverage in both editor modes.

Addressed in fa312ab7: the custom path now calls domObserver.forceFlush() before forwarding, matching ProseMirror 1.42.3's normal keydown safeguard. The internal property requires a narrow type assertion because the public EditorView declaration omits it. The regression models a deferred observer with a native text replacement and moved DOM caret in the middle of a paragraph: without the flush it produces "line! one\n one"; with it the result is "line!\n one". Both editor modes pass. This is an automated deferred-observer regression, not a claim of a new physical iPad reproduction. vp run check:changed passed (18 tests across 3 files).

@Fastdesigner The supplied code now calls domObserver.forceFlush() before forwarding Shift+Enter. This addresses the stale-state concern.

The reported regression covers pending native text and a moved DOM caret in both editor modes. The narrow type assertion keeps access to the internal property scoped. This automated coverage is separate from physical iPad verification.

Keep ProseMirror's post-composition Enter guard ahead of Shift+Enter forwarding.

The new Shift+Enter path runs before ProseMirror's inOrNearComposition guard. That guard ignores the one Enter keydown that Safari emits after compositionend. If an IME confirms a composition with Shift+Enter, the keydown can arrive after compositionend with isComposing false and keyCode 13. The new path forwards it to handleKeyDown, which can insert an extra line break.

Mirror the guard for this path. Skip the forwarding when a compositionend arrived within 500 ms before the keydown, and clear that state once it is consumed. The 1.42.2 and 1.42.6 sources show this ordering, and 1.42.3 is the closest available version.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:

  • Permanent blocker: a physical iPad with a Magic Keyboard and Safari’s Add to Home Screen standalone app is required; the available pool supplies simulators with software keyboards. Desktop automation or injected keyboard events would not prove the reported hardware behavior.
  • Shift+Enter retaining a two-line draft and plain Enter sending it remain unverified on both commits, with rich text enabled and disabled.
  • Composition and disabled-editing behavior remain unverified.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

This PR changes the test suite by +2 test cases (browser +2, unit 0, server 0).

New browser test files: apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.ios.browser.test.tsx. Each browser test file costs CI seconds of module loading before its first test runs; a unit test costs milliseconds.

Keep tests that would fail for a real reason, and test logic below the UI where it can be. See Testing.
