`Shift` + `Enter` in livestream chat should add a new line to input instead of sending the message #1568

Closed Abwasserrohr closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If I want to have a chat message with line breaks, I usually use shift + enter to go to the next line. It works on Twitch and Discord this way, but on Odysee, it just sends the message. Having the option to manually add a new line is great and I miss this feature.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a line break if user presses shift + enter in livestream chat input instead of sending the message.

Describe alternatives you've considered One could argue that enter could just not submit the chat message, but I feel that would be worse than having no new line feature at all.

Additional context I recorded trying to add multiple lines using shift + enter, which did not work, but copy & paste some new lines worked:

Don't think we want to support new lines on livechat, this could cause very long messages. I don't think youtube allows this? If so, we can consider re-opening, but would require more work to restrict vertically long messages.

Yeah, YouTube doesn't allow it, and while Twitch allows it in the input field, they actually are just removing them after posting it, not sure if that's a new thing or not. So probably not a good idea to have support for multiple lines.

But then, it shouldn't allow me to copy & paste them in either, since that bypasses the protection.
