Today Shift+Enter in the chat bar sends as a whisper (Ctrl+Enter shouts), so there's no way to type a multi-line message.

Want

  • Nearby chat: a setting to make Shift+Enter insert a line break instead of whispering. Default off, so it keeps the current behaviour. Put it in Preferences > Chat next to the other input options.
  • IMs and group chat: Shift+Enter always inserts a line break. Whisper and shout don't apply to IMs, so nothing is lost there.
  • Plain Enter still sends. The chat input grows to show the extra lines, and the sent message keeps its line breaks.
