Chat: allow line breaks by pressing Enter, instead of direct sending the message
Anytype has the nice feature to configure the behavior of the Enter aka Return key.
Normally, a message becomes send as soon as the user hits Enter.
But for me, this behavior is not wanted, because I have the tendency to write long messages that contain many lines. Therefore I need the same behavior of the Enter key, as in the Object editor: inserting a new line below.
To finally sending a message, after writing a long text, the user has to use the "send" button, or he must use the combination Ctrl+Enter.
As said, in Anytype, the user was able to chose his preferred behavior in the preferences.
-- AnyTwo should do the same: let the user decide which behavior he preferences.

In other messaging/chat apps I've used, SHIFT+Enter creates a new line, Enter sends. That would work for me and it seems (personal experience only) to be a commonly used approach.
I accept that having Enter create a new line in the editor (which makes sense) but a different key combo in chat might cause confusion, so I don;t have a strong view.
AnyTwo does the same: Shift-Enter creates a new line. But that's not the point.
The point is, that I'm used to press Enter when I want a line break. But unfortunately that causes unwanted sending of the unfinished post!
-- That sucks so much!
It's impossible for me to concentrate all the time on "not press Enter!!! Press Shift#Enter for a line break" while I'm writing a long text in high speed!
In Telegram, the user can choose the wanted behavior of the Enter key,
Same in our old Anytype: we was able to choose which behavior we want for the Enter key in the chat.
-- AnyTwo should also implement that what Anytype and Telegram do already have since long!
