carriage return in messages

Post by mith »

Hello all,
with GAIM (for windoz) I can write some text, then press shift-Enter and the cursor goes down a row and I can continue writing. When I want to send the message I hit plain "enter" key and the message is sent.

Is there a way to do this with AdiumX?

Alternatively, you can have one key (Enter) send IMs and have the other (Return) go to next line, or vice versa. Under Preferences: General, there are 2 checkboxes: "Send on Enter," and "Send on Return." Enable or disable these as you feel like.

On a Mac, the Return hey is above right shift and the Enter key is on the numpad, just to clarify things.
The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.
