Description
Practically every app supports intuitive newline like ctrl+enter now. Update viewer's chat to do the same.
The problem is: shift+enter and ctrl+enter are in use for 'wishper' and 'shout'. Potentially we can expose chat in keybindings and let users decide what they want those buttons to do.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the viewer's chat input and keybinding handling, then inspect how Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter currently trigger whisper and shout. Done means chat supports an intuitive newline action while preserving or allowing configuration of those existing commands.
