How To Prevent Enter Key From Sending Chat Message

I am often working in other windows but have a lot of teams messages that I need to address. This results in my sending meaningless messages accidentally when I hit ENTER thinking I am in a different window but I am really in teams. How do I by default prevent the ENTER button from sending a message?

    I think the user is just venting at Microsoft's crappy shittoriffic UX, and that you need to not worry, he is not criticizing you.

    Teams is hands down the worst communications app. Why can't you just copy the UX of Slack or Discord? Both of those are successful and provide good set of features. Among the infinite list of UX issues, why is it that the <Return> key is sometimes sends the message, sometimes starts a new line. I constantly have to juggle around bullet-lists, starting new bullet but then accidentally sends the message and then I either have to delete it or edit it.

    ...and of all the bad things, you constantly chose to do marginal, unnecessary little UI updates and tunes.

    btw the entire MS office toolkit unbelievable bad to use, at least you could copy the UX of competitors and it would be much better, you don't need to reinvent the wheel.

    I agree with you 100%. It just bothers me that their programmers can be so narrow minded. A toggle in settings is so easy.

    I remember my computer programming professor telling me that a good programmer would never make such a mistake and should never be hired if they do. I guess Microsoft scrape the barrel when they're hiring.
