Multiline input support in regular terminals (not just VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf) #1594

Description

Feature Request

Currently, multiline input in the Copilot CLI prompt is only supported via /terminal-setup in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. There is no way to insert newlines when using the CLI in a regular terminal.

Workarounds like Ctrl+V Enter, Ctrl+X Ctrl+E, and \n do not work.

Request: Please add multiline input support for regular terminal users, e.g. via a keyboard shortcut or by making Ctrl+X Ctrl+E (edit in $EDITOR) work properly.
