Should we change the default keyboard shortcut for sending messages in #deltachat_desktop #deltachat

The question is about whether the `"Enter"` key should create a newline or send the message.

The other shortcuts will stay the same:
- Ctrl/Cmd + Enter is always send
- Shift + Enter is always newline

  • Keep: Enter creates newline (65%, 23 votes)
  • Change: Enter sends message (34%, 12 votes)

And some background on the current default:

The default of adding a new line came to be, because we were focusing on email at the time and there you can not delete an accidentally sent email.

Now we focus more on #chatmail and on there everyone uses #deltachat and you can delete and edit messages that were already sent.

Most other messengers use "Enter to send".
