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?

    To say "simply" is ignorant to accommodating the user in full. Nobody should have to think like a programmer while working - we already have our primary function. We should get our money's worth and have format mode BE the default. The current default makes this software giant look like a dog chasing it's tail.

    Hello,

    You can simply activate the "Format" mode by pressing the first button on the left under the message you are typing. The symbol is an A with a pen next to it

    Hello! My name is Mustafa, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user.

    Unfortunately as of now, there's no option to stop the "Enter" button from sending messages when pressed. If you need to create a line break, please use these keys: [SHIFT] + [ENTER].

    This is a good suggestion

    I would suggest submitting feedback to the support engineer team of Microsoft so that they can add this in future releases.

    Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

    Warm Regards,

    Mustafa
