Description

When using the Nextcloud Talk Android app in Samsung DeX desktop mode with a physical keyboard, there is no hotkey to send a message. I have to click the Send button with a mouse.

Please add Ctrl+Enter to send the current message. Preferably keep Enter for inserting a newline, or make this behavior configurable.

Environment:
Nextcloud Talk Android: 22.0.3
Android: 16 / One UI 8.5
Device: Samsung S25 FE in DeX mode

Expected:
Ctrl+Enter sends the message.

Actual:
No keyboard shortcut for sending; the Send button must be clicked.
This would make Nextcloud Talk much more usable in DeX/desktop-like environments.
