Let's try just doing send-on-enter always? I hate preferences a whole lot (even more than send-on-enter), and we're pulling the product in a pretty chat-ey direction. If it's terrible we can add a preference.

Specifically:

• Enter with no modifier keys sends messages.
• Enter with any modifier key adds a newline.
• We could remove the "Send" buttons, too, I suppose.

That probably means there's no way to write newlines on mobile, but oh well?

Most mobile I've seen have a send button.

At least on the iPhone, it's actually possible to "shift + return". Not sure if we can pick that up in JS, but might be good enough if we can.

@btrahan do you have any thoughts on preference / no preference. I'm a bad judge since I love send on enter. I would probably still leave a send button though? I can do a rough scan of other chat applications.

I think we should do send on enter; its all the rage in the chat nowadays.

I'm somewhat indifferent on the send button. However, if / when we get into creating things like tasks, wiki docs, etc in the context of a Conpherence, we might want to can the "send" button in favor of some button that invokes a dialogue to do these things.

Twitch has a send button.
Slack (mac app anyway) has a "create other stuff" button, which has "upload file", "create text snippet", and "create post". FWIW these would align with the File app, the Paste app, and the Phame app respectively.

Seems overly easy to spam empty messages in the column, just FYI.
