Multiline Textmessage

[LouisSchieferle]

Is it possible to send multiline textmessages with whatsapp without all of them being a separate text-message

I am having the same issue here

I have the same issue, I tried many times using different characters and there is no way.

hello, we found this workaround from someone's answer in StackOverflow thread and we can use it sucessfully. the idea is to split NewLines in message and simulate SHIFT+ENTER to browser.

for msg in message.split("\n"):
    input_box.send_keys(msg)
    ActionChains(self.browser).key_down(Keys.SHIFT).key_down(Keys.ENTER).key_up(Keys.ENTER).key_up(Keys.SHIFT).perform()
input_box.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

@Kalebu I'll add this to my current PR since it's really useful and the OP has not sent it, ok?

Addressed through PR #58. 🙃
Should we close this, @Kalebu ?
