Yes, I'm still smarting from this default behavoir that pressing "return" sends the message instead of starting a new paragraph. My thoughts usually run to more than one paragraph, and I like to edit before I send.
I supposes that's not "chat", but then again written is not oral.
(side note-- again, two paragraphs, plus self-commentary)
- Tempest1981 5y agoYou can use SHIFT-RETURN in Slack/Discord to insert a newline. Maybe not great for RSI, but it's muscle memory now.
- tveyben 5y agoI hate that as well - but finally learned that you can actually change the RETURN behavior in Slack’s preferences. I wonder why they decided that a different behavior was needed depending on you being in a code block (RETURN -> new line) than normal writing (RETURN -> submit). That’s bad UX! I’m so old school that I want an e-mail so I can file it (as a file) in whatever folder I find logical - that’s not possible in Slack (which is good for non-worthy-of-being-saved chit-chat kind of communications)
