Bug Description

Binary package hint: kopete

Per default kopete (from dapper) sends a message by pressing <enter>. This is obstructive if you want to type multi-line messages.
This can be changed in the short key settings of _each_ chat window and is not saved for other chat windows or if I close the chat window and open it again.
This setting can't be changed in the main short key settings of kopete itself.

OK, I have to correct myself a bit.
If I asign another short key to the action "Send message", then Kopete saves this correctly and uses it for the future. BUT if I change the short key back to "none", Kopete uses <enter> again, if I want or not.
So this problem is very minor now (at last for me), but it's a bug.

What would you expect kopete to do?

Why shouldn't kopete switch back to the default behavior after you reverted your changes to the "send message" short cut?

IF it is the default behavior of kopete to send a message by pressing <enter>, it should be noted in the short key settings dialog that this is the default. If there is written that messages are sent by pressing <none>, I expect kopete to not send the message, despite of the key I press.
But this problem has gone, as I use kopete 0.12.2 now.

Right. Kopete 0.12.3 doesn't send messages on <enter> if "Send message" is set to none.

I was told that you can use shift+<enter> to create multi-line messages. Would this solve your problem? Or shall we report your wish upstreams?

Well, I don't think it is useful to report a bug for an older version of KDE (especially a so small/minor one) that is fixed in a newer KDE version.
