1 year ago Slack has a feature that is quite useful for scenarios like this. It allows you to swap the behavior of "enter" and "shfit+enter":
Adding this to ChatGPT might address this issue as well as better align the product with the other software users are using.
Feature description
Especially when inputting code, it's quite tricky to have to press SHIFT+ENTER to input line breaks, and the inputted text, even if written as Markdown (with code blocks and such), still renders as plain-text, while the output renders as Markdown.
It'd be great if the input box supported Markdown, similar to how on Discord, sending with ENTER gets disabled when you enter a code block with ```.
And it'd also be great if the text sent as input got formatted as Markdown as well.
Motivation
Doing this would make using ChatGPT much easier, especially when using it for coding. It'd make it faster to type code, and easier to read it.
Alternatives
For inputting code, I currently have to resort to entering line breaks with SHIFT+ENTER, which works, but is slow and difficult, and any mistake would result in sending the unfinished code early.
Additional context
Notice how my input and the AI's output get rendered differently, and how much prettier and easier to read the AI output is.
