[Windows] clipboard paste drops characters, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter insert [13;2u instead of a newline #4401

Description

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.42.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5-codex

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Codex is still unusable in the native Windows environment. I reported these bugs here a month ago, and despite a number of great updates, this has not been fixed.

  1. Pasting characters from the clipboard does not work. This is not just backslash, many characters are skipped during paste bursts.
  2. This is a new bug from one of the recent versions, line breaks do not work. Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter do not insert a newline, they type the characters [13;2u.

I will not explain how to fix this on Windows, because I already submitted a PR for it and it was ignored despite many thumbs up and interest from two OpenAI developers.

Please fix this, I am tired of tweaking it myself with each new release and rebuilding. Sending love.
