also, this is what chat-style interfaces encourage. Anything where the "enter" key sends the message instead of creating a paragraph block is just hell.
I'm prompting Gemini, and I write:
I have the following code, can you help me analyze it? <press return>
<expect to paste the code into my chat window>
but Gemnini is already generating output, usually saying "I'm waiting for you to enter the code"
Yeah, seems like current models might benefit from a more email-like UI, and this'll be more true as they get longer task time horizons.
Maybe we want a smaller model tuned for back and forth to help clarify the "planning doc" email. Makes sense that having it all in a single chat-like interface would create confusion and misbehavior.
Like many chat-style interfaces, it's typically shift-enter to insert a newline.
its so easy to accidentally hit enter though lol, I usually type larger prompts in my notes and copy paste then finished
