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, the Enter
(or Return
) key simply adds a blank line to
the message when the Press Enter to send checkbox is
disabled. 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. In this default configuration, you can send a message
from the keyboard with Ctrl+Enter
.
However, if you check the Press Enter to send checkbox in the
compose box, Zulip sends your message when you press Enter
(or
Return
) on your keyboard, and Ctrl+Enter
will produce a newline.
Whether or not the Press Enter to send option is enabled, pressing
Shift
+ Enter
inserts a new line in your message.
