# Configure send message keys
By default, the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key adds a new line to your message,
and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> sends your message.
This is convenient for typing multi-line messages, which are more common in
Zulip than in most other chat products. However, you can also configure
Zulip so that the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key sends your message.
!!! tip ""
<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> always adds a new line, regardless
of whether **<kbd>Enter</kbd> to send** is enabled.
