Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I tried to enter my name and email address, I wanted to separate them by a blank line. So, I pressed Shift+Enter and was surprised when the form submitted.

Describe the solution you'd like
Prompting the user for confirmation before submitting a form.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Remove the ability to submit forms using the enter key (the same way browsers stopped using backspace as a back button, to avoid accidentally performing an action while typing).
