Hello everyone! Small update with an important bug fix for Japanese users.

Fixed
- Fix Auto-completion in Japanese: I had to remove the Ctrl/Shift + Enter shortcut to add new lines and instead bring back the classic Option + Enter shortcut. It was causing too many issues with Japanese keywords and not sustainable in the long term. - Thanks to Hidemi, Akira, Tsuyoshi, and Yoshihiro for pointing this out!
