Signal-android: Send using "Enter" Key on Hardware Keyboard

[naftulikay]

Feature request: when using an external USB keyboard with my device on Signal, make it possible to send messages using either:

• Enter
• Ctrl+Enter
• Shift+Enter

If desired to send on plain Enter, Shift+Enter should enter a newline.

What happens when you change the setting Enter key sends in Advanced settings?
See #2374

@2-4601 to be honest I haven't tried that yet, though I'd prefer it be a separate setting for strictly hardware keyboards only. With a hardware keyboard, it's easy enough to use Shift+Space to force a newline and have Enter send by default. On a software keyboard, not so much. If the enter key on a software keyboard sends by default, how would one insert a newline if needed?

Thanks but we're not going to do this

Would you reconsider this request? There needs to be a way to insert newlines and submit the message independently, regardless of the specific configuration of each. With the "Enter to send" option ON or OFF, there is still not a way to independently control each of these actions without constantly toggling the option.

It's very annoying to have to remove my hands from my bluetooth keyboard to hit the Send button. I much prefer to hit CTRL+Enter to send, and press ENTER to get a newline.

Yeah, just came across this since I love to type messages using my bluetooth keyboard switching easily between devices.

A CTRL-Enter to send would be perfect! So I second this request!!!

Thx a lot for considering this!

Control Enter or Shift Enter is standard in other applications that allow both multi-line messages and external keyboards. Would y'all please reconsider?
