Request: Enable Shift+Enter to Send Messages in Mobile App (Bluetooth Keyboard Support)

Hello, I’m a frequent user of the ChatGPT mobile app and recently started using a Bluetooth keyboard for improved productivity.

However, there’s a major usability issue that makes the app inconvenient when using a physical keyboard:

Pressing Enter only creates a new line instead of sending the message

Pressing Shift+Enter (which usually sends the message in other apps) opens the photo attachment menu

As a result, I’m forced to manually tap the “send” button on the screen every time — which defeats the purpose of using a keyboard

This is a frustrating experience for anyone using a Bluetooth or physical keyboard, and significantly slows down messaging and workflow.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Suggested improvements:

Allow Shift+Enter to send messages, and Enter to add a line break (just like the web version)

OR add a setting that lets users customize what the Enter key does

This would greatly improve the mobile app experience for keyboard users. Thank you for your consideration!
