Desktop keyboard behavior - Enter = new line, Shift = send
OpenAI Developer Community
May 2, 2026
Hi OpenAI team,
A simple rethink of the desktop keyboard behavior:
Enter = new line. Shift = send. (Flip available in settings.)
Right now Enter sends immediately, making it impossible to write in paragraphs without accidentally submitting. Writing should be the easy action, sending should be the intentional one.
Just wanted to put it out there.
Blessings,
Isabella
