Re: [Licq-main] Send on enter?

Yeah, I agree with you totally. Ctrl+Enter is easy enough to send messages - enter by itself has always been the way to insert newlines, I don't see why licq should go against the convention.

Once you get used to this, you'll never want to tab-space, alt-s ..

Hi,

this results in very strange behaviour.

Lets have a look at it:

The way it used to be:
- Normal newlines: Enter
- Send message: CTRL+Enter

or
- Normal newlines: CTRL+Enter
- Send messages: Enter

The big disadvantage i see is that users (mainly people that are used to type blind and fast) will have to re-learn the usage of entering a newline. While 99,9% of applications (no matter if windows/mac/linux/...) use the enter key to insert a newline, licq would behave different with your patch included. This is not very intuitive. The way it has been in the past, people had to learn _one_ shortcut in addition to what they are used to already. But with your patch included people would have to learn _two_ shortcuts, which is not user friendly IMO.

Any other thoughts?

Thomas
