Add Setting to allow Enter key to break line OR send message

[trymeouteh]

Please add a setting on desktop just like on mobile on weather the enter key will send the message or the enter key will break the line in the message.

Or even better, like Signal, allow desktop users to enlarge the input box. When input box is regular it sends on enter, when its enlarged it line breaks.

Or even better, add setting that configures a preference for CTRL+ENTER for sending, ENTER just for line breaks?

Does the enter key work at all? At least on the macOS, hitting Enter or Cmd + Enter does nothing. I have to click on the send message button every time.

I think doing what signal does would be better. Not having the compositionbox auto resize but just have two sizes.

• single line: Enter sends message
• 7 line displayed or so: Enter adds a new line character, and CMD+Enter or CTRL+Enter sends the message.

If you are implementing this as a good first issue here is some additional information on how it should be laid out and what the copy should be.

Setting info

Header: Enter Key
Copy: Function of the enter key when typing in a conversation.

Option 1: ENTER sends a message, SHIFT + ENTER starts a new line
Option 2: SHIFT + ENTER sends a message, ENTER starts a new line

Location: In Conversation settings, under Autoplay Audio Messages
Design: As per Notification Content in Notifications Settings.
Notes: Option 1 should be selected by default

Below is a wireframe, however referencing Notification Content in Notifications Settings should provide a more detailed guide on the actual visual implementation.

This is merged, setting will be available in next release
