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?

This has got to be one of the most annoying things about Teams (& there are a few). When typing on anything it is instinctive to press enter to start a new line - so why make it do something else? Its counterintuitive. FFS - sort it out.

Casting my vote for this simple accommodation to end-user experience, training and competitor standards.
I recommend that everyone who finds this votes on this topic which requests a setting to disable Enter=Send https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/9ebae341-4ebe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608
It's remarkably easy to code a user setting that disables that function and many other apps already offer that feature.
The amount of times I've sent messages accidentally b/c my pinky was reaching for quotations and also grazed Enter is insane. I shortcut using Ctrl + Shift + X to quickly open the editing function, but this is NOT a solution. This is clearly functionality geared towards formatting and not the correct answer for users. Microsoft - surprise us for once and make things easier for your users.
