Bug#275867: kopete: chat window: most people do not want to press send button for sending msg. Intro instead
Thank you very much, that was what I was looking for. I have just seen
that it was in kopete help, sorry.
I have seen people migrating to amsn or others clients because of not
feeling comfortable with the send button. (And of course, they did not
read the help). Perhaps kopete could be more friendly making the
"Ctrl+Enter" shortcut more "obvious". For instance, "Send" label in Send
button could be renamed to "Send (Ctrl+Enter)".
It is just one idea, I have already fixed my problem, but perhaps other
people could thank it.
txemi.
