Description

The app could have an option to send on enter or create new line when using the enter key.
By default, IMHO, it should respect the settings we have in our profile (I've set in to send via web interface).

Research direction

Start by tracing how the virtual and hardware keyboard handle the enter key, then find where the profile's send-on-enter setting is read. Confirm how message sending and newline insertion currently work on both platforms. Done means users can choose send or newline behavior, with the profile setting respected by default.
