As it is now I find it practically impossible to type directly in the text field, and have to copy & paste from an external editor, otherwise I either forget to press Shift or mistype often, and it sends incomplete message. Since I almost never send messages that are just a single paragraph, and need to type newline often, I really need to have an option to use Enter to type newlines.

In every software where I encountered behavior of sending message with Enter (like Telegram for example) there was always a setting to change this so I can use Enter key without issues, but I could not find a setting for this in open-webui. My apologies if it is exist and I just missed it. But if it is indeed missing, it would be a great addition to options.
