Add Send Button for Improved Message Sending Experience

[tanmay4l]

Issue Description:
Currently, users face inconvenience when trying to send messages consisting of multiple lines in the chat interface. Upon selecting multiple lines of text and hitting enter, the message input field moves to a new line instead of sending the message. This behavior interrupts the flow of communication and requires additional steps to send the message, leading to a suboptimal user experience.

Proposed Solution:
To address this issue and enhance the message sending experience, I propose adding a send button adjacent to the chat input field. The send button will provide users with a convenient way to send messages after composing them, irrespective of whether the message spans multiple lines. Users will have the option to either hit enter or click the send button to transmit their messages, providing flexibility and improving usability.

Expected Behavior:

1. A send button will be displayed next to the chat input field.
2. Users can compose messages in the input field, including multi-line messages.
3. After composing the message, users can click the send button to transmit the message.
4. Clicking the send button will send the entire message, regardless of whether it spans multiple lines.
5. The send button will complement the existing functionality of hitting enter to send messages, providing users with an alternative method for message transmission.

Benefits:

• Improved user experience: Users can easily send messages without the need to hit enter repeatedly or navigate through multi-line text.
• Enhanced usability: The addition of a send button offers users more control over when to send their messages, reducing friction in the communication process.
• Increased efficiency: With a dedicated send button, users can quickly transmit messages, leading to
  smoother interactions and increased productivity.

Implementation Details:

• Implement a send button adjacent to the chat input field in the application interface.
• Develop functionality to handle message transmission upon clicking the send button.
• Ensure seamless integration with existing chat functionality and support for multi-line messages.

Thanks for the detailed post!

I removed some helper text that mentions Shift+Enter sends the message in multi-line mode. Is that why it's annoying right now?

Either way, I think you're right that a send button should be there. Maybe just a small button with an icon that has the same height as the text field.

its annoying bcs if i select an option multiline then how can send the chat directly ? ive have to again click on the multiline off btn then only i can send the chat so its little annoying , if its not annoying for others then its completely fine

Sorry if it's not clear. You should be able to use shift+enter to send text in multi line mode.

I would like to know if that isn't working, but I still want to add a button.
