Configure send message keys

By default, the Enter key adds a new line to your message, and Ctrl + Enter sends your message.

This is convenient for typing multi-line messages, which are more common in Zulip than in most other chat products. However, you can also configure Zulip so that the Enter key sends your message.

!!! tip ""

<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> always adds a new line, regardless
of whether **<kbd>Enter</kbd> to send** is enabled.
