How To Prevent Enter Key From Sending Chat Message

These lines in the script:
; Shift+Enter becomes Enter

+Enter:: {

Send "{Enter}"

}

#HotIf

means that Hotkey from "+Enter" can change to anything you like. "Enter" key on its own will only give you a line feed.

I finally did this script for AutoHotkey as I am fed-up with waiting. It works. It swaps Enter for Shift Enter. So, whiles running Enter key is a line feed and **** Enter Sends: I have uploaded it on their site as well. You can add other apps and sites to the list.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; List of applications/websites where the Enter/Shift+Enter swap should be active

; Format: Window title must contain one of these strings (case-insensitive)

chatApplications := [

"WhatsApp",      ; WhatsApp Desktop

"ChatGPT",       ; ChatGPT

"Claude",        ; Claude AI

"Anthropic",     ; Claude/Anthropic

"Copilot",       ; Microsoft Copilot    

"Perplexity",    ; Perplexity AI

"Telegram"       ; Telegram Desktop

]

; Check if the active window is a chat application

IsActiveChatApp() {

activeTitle := WinGetTitle("A")

for app in chatApplications {

    if InStr(activeTitle, app, true) {

        return true

    }

}

return false

}

; Swap Enter and Shift+Enter only in chat applications

#HotIf IsActiveChatApp()

; Enter becomes Shift+Enter

Enter:: {

    Send "+{Enter}"

}

; Shift+Enter becomes Enter

+Enter:: {

    Send "{Enter}"

}

#HotIf

    for app in appArray {

        if appTrimmed != "" {

            chatApplications.Push(appTrimmed)

        }

Tell me about it. You can't even remap it using your PowerToys.

I have a case against Microsoft that is solid. I have documented their support team lying refusing to release telephone transcripts that I specifically allowed so that I could get a copy because I knew beforehand what they would say. or the damages.

I can't be bothered because I don't trust the ADR either. At best they give you refund not the cost of all the time required to put a case together.

One of the idiots' excuses for not sending me the transcript was that you are going to use it against me. That is an excuse worse than the crime.

But Google is just as bad. Then they have these cheap solicitors who can get paid anywhere else pretending to be independent volunteers doing it for the good of community who don't understand the technical language and report you when you tell them what they are.

These cheap solicitors get spanked on daily basis by courts in the UK on daily basis but here they sound tough resorting to grandstanding, threats, intimidation when they really know Jack. Pathetic the whole of them.

It is an obvious design flaw that they are keeping in there for other reasons. Yet another tool of control.

Welcome to 1984

Thank you! Your simple response was spot on!

What do you mean by format mode?
Are you talking within the context of Windows?
Even the question doesn't seem to explain the context.
Are we talking about web apps running within a browser?
If that is the case, then change should be easy to implement by the developer an₫ be part of the settings:
In cross platform javascript an "on_event" function can detect the key pressed from then on it is a simple if then statement.
I really don't understand why the site owners & developers make such a big deal out of it.
I wrote an extension for Youtube that does the same sort of thing. The same can be don't for apps like WhatsApp.

My question is WHY it isn't?
It is a real pain in Open AI's chatGPT relevant portals. It is ridiculous. There must be a reason for it. In fact, Co-pilote on the sidebar of Edge has Enters as line feed as default which should be the case for all chat boxes.

Now you are referring to format mode that I am intrigued about. So, can you please give me details.

I might be able to change it using programming, but I don't have the time, and it shouldn't be me but the site owner and the responsible developers to do it.

This is something pointed out by someone. You might have already responded to it, but I came across your first response from someone who has managed to do it. Therefore, I apologise, and I would be grateful at least send me a link to your previous explanations, if any.

Thanks
