Shortcut to post

F Flaburgan Public Seen by 37

As expected, a lot of users (including me :p) are complaining about the "shift+enter" shortcut. In every other software (including Facebook), shift+enter is newline. We should not put this shortcut to post.

The shortcut will be changed from Shift+Enter to Ctrl+enter (see https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/pull/4184)

The shortcut used by Gmail to send emails is Ctrl+enter, we could use that instead of "shift+enter", which is the default shortcut for newline in a lot of softwares.

We have no conflicting shortcut here, lets just map both.

With shift+enter, many users post messages unintentionally. We have to change that.

Of course! Shift-enter is absolutely newline.

I like Ctrl+Enter and think it's a more natural 'do action' combo for many users - Shift+Enter has (for me) more of a 'soft return' meaning to it, so would prefer it not to be used for 'post message'.

If some prefer Shift+Enter, p

I'm not using it but would have been surprised if shift+enter would send what I'm doing. Ctrl+Enter also sends the mail in Thunderbird and many other software, so I think that's a better choice.

ctrl-shift is way more logical imho.

On Facebook shift-enter adds a new line :)

Don't forget to map CMD for the Mac users...

Even if we don't send a post when hitting enter, most discussion software does and people might be inclined to hit Shift+Enter to be sure their post won't be sent right away.
Mapping both wouldn't solve the problem here.
