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?

    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

    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.

    Hello,

    I am not a programmer, just a basic user who likes to use each tool to its maximum, within my own abilities and needs.

    A good tool cannot accommodate everyone but needs to give the user the possibility to adapt the tool to its needs
    The option is there to be used.

    Regards,

    Thierry

    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.

    Casting my vote for this simple accommodation to end-user experience, training and competitor standards.
