# Enable or disable Press Enter to send
Zulip supports configuring whether the **Enter** key on your keyboard
sends a message that you are composing.
By default, with the **Press Enter to send** checkbox disabled:
* The **Enter** key simply adds a blank line to the message. This is
great if you want to write multi-line messages that include blank
lines, which is much more common in Zulip than in other chat products.
* To send your message, you can either press the **Send** button in the
compose box or from the keyboard, use **Tab** and then **Enter**.
However, if you check the **Press Enter to send** checkbox in the
compose box, the behavior will instead be as follows:
* There is no **Send** button in the compose box; Zulip sends your
message when you press **Enter** (or **Return**) on your keyboard.
* If necessary, you can enter blank lines into your message using
**Ctrl+Enter**, **Alt+Enter**, and **Shift+Enter**.
