Option to modify Enter keycode to override "Send" #392

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Hangouts or other affected apps
2. Press Enter after entering text

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In some apps, Enter is automatically treated as "Send", making it difficult to 
send multi-line messages.

This would of course need to be an option, not changing the default behavior, 
since a lot of people would be likely to expect the current behavior.

Yes, as an option of course. 
Maybe even as an application-specific option, if that is possible. 

However, apparently this is the way in which the Google Keyboard works, and 
also some other mainstream keyboards. So perhaps there may be some kind of 
reason behind it. I can't think of any, though, and find it quite stupid. 
Wouldn't even request this feature, if there was a way to make the Hanhouts 
devs to fix their app...

You just have to use shift+enter to add a newline, like on a computer where 
enter is send. Facebook is an example of such.
