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?

    It's been two years since this problem was first reported. I'm sure there are other comment threads with this same complaint. Teams was release in 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I reallllllly hate MS. They buy up competitors & then REMOVE functionality (wonderlist became todo & now you can't sort by more than one field.)

    FIX THIS BASIC FUNCTIONALITY

    YOU'VE HAD YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They don't even have to go that far. Just make ENTER=SEND optional.
    Why ENTER should mean SEND anyway?
    It has always been associated with a new line even from typewriter eras.
    Why argue over it?

    Agree 100%. Perfectly stated.
