Description

**Mood:** 🎉
**Category:** General

Add a setting to choose whether pressing Enter sends the message or inserts a newline. Two modes:
* Enter to send (current default)
* Shift (or cmd)+Enter to send

This makes composing multiline prompts (code snippets, bullet lists, structured instructions) much less friction-prone, especially for power users writing longer messages.
