How To Prevent Enter Key From Sending Chat Message

OUTRAGE HERE:

Enable option to choose another key to use in order to send a message other than "the Enter key" · Community (microsoft.com)

One solution is to create an AutoHotkey script that is scoped so it only affects keystrokes within the teams application

The script (AutoHotkey v2.0) would look something like this:

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe ms-teams.exe")

Enter::+Enter

You would have to rely on the other default "Send Message" key (which works even when you are in advanced edit mode (click the "A with pencil" icon in the bar to add formatting, etc)) or clicking the send icon in order to send your message as the "Enter" key would now be remapped (this may also have adverse side effects in other areas of the app like settings or while using plugins, so use with care)

If you wanted to map a custom (alternate) key to send the message, simply add something like this to your script:

F12::^Enter

Which would remap the F12 key to ctrl+Enter while within the teams app.

Ok, ok.

Can MS teams be any worse?

Frustrated as Slack has had this solution for years.
