This works for me too, without needed to touch the mouse at all. TAB + ENTER
The problem for me was the sidebar marked in red. If this is gone, enter send does not work, if it is there, send works with enter

Thanks, I just made the change to add the event to the document for new chats, and also used !event.shiftKey in the first if statement. It’s perfect for my workflow.
It 's crazy that they still did not fix this… I shrink my chat gpt window down when working and I always have to click tab+enter key to send my prompt. It would be nice if we had the option to customize that in the settings like many other apps let us do.
On firefox and ubuntu it submits the message
On firefox and windows it is just a newline.
Crazy, just crazy.
? on ubuntu and firefox I just use enter… Not working on windows though.
I had the same issue on Ubuntu using i3 window manager. Fixed it as described above, when the navigation is hidden, enter no longer works to submit a request, instead a new line is created. Would be awesome to make this configurable.
try tab+enter

It’s really funny how OpenAI has completely revolutionized the entire universe with their actual AI, but their web interfaces just keep being utter shite

Each os works in a different way… same browser.
Still the bet solution as of 2024. Tab+Enter cycles through the upload buttons now.
This is beyond stupid.
I kept wondering why Enter would sometimes work and other times not at all.
What a stupid design decision. And they have yet to make even an acknowledgement of what/why they are doing this, making people resort to SCRIPTS to get around it??
The issue occurs because a media query or something similar assumes devices under 768px are mobile, changing the “Enter” key function to create a new line. This behavior also applies to resized Windows, which is illogical. Checking input type (pointer/touch) or device type would be more accurate.

Everyone giving complex answers is overengineering it. It’s literally just predicting what device is using it by measuring the page dimensions. Funniest part is, I don’t even have a degree in this stuff, and I figured that out.
UPDATED FIX – ChatGPT Enter Key Not Working in Microsoft Edge
If pressing Enter no longer submits your message in ChatGPT when using Edge, here’s what worked for me after testing a bunch of things:
WORKING FIXES:
Fix 1: Maximize the ChatGPT window — Enter key will start working again.
Fix 2: Press Windows + Alt + Enter instead of just Enter.
Fix 3: Press Tab 6 times, then hit Enter.
*These solutions were provided by others in this feed, I’d like to thank them for the find and share.
WHAT DIDN’T WORK:
Ctrl + Enter
Shift + Enter
Clearing cache/cookies
Private/incognito mode
Injecting code in Developer Tools
KEY DISCOVERY:
If you manually resize the ChatGPT window until the top-left icon changes from a hamburger (☰) to a side panel icon, Enter will start working. That UI shift seems to be the trigger.
Hope this saves someone else a headache.

For me it actually works to just press Win + Enter
It works in Firefox. Thanks~(●’◡’●)
Ctrl + minus key is the solution.
The browser magnification must be 80% or below for the enter key to work again. This is applicable whenever the window is resized. In my case, the window size is half and reducing the magnification to 80% makes the enter key work again.
The totally-not-awesome pattern of a button and a user interface changing its behavior without indication in ChatGPT is based on the viewport width in pixels, which can be virtual if you use a browser’s zoom.
