    Is there a way to make the Android Messages app send messages with the Enter key?

    Go into the settings for the messaging app you can set the enter key to send.

    But BlackBerry could at last try to back this up in the core system. I need enter to be send everywhere as an option.

    Agree. I know many android apps change the virtual keyboard enter key to a special send button. In that case I would hope the physical keyboard would behave the same, with the enter key doing the special function. Would make sense as a system keyboard setting. Alt + enter could always be available for a newline.

    Like on the Passport or a computer right?

    Lack of consistency across apps is one problem with Android in general.

    That's what Material Design is trying to address.

    I just installed the google keyboard "gboard" and set it to be the "active" keyboard and it seems like enter to send is now magically working on a few apps that it wasn't before. Facebook messager is one that that works now.

    Interesting! Is it also working on Android Messages and if so, does it work the same using the physical keyboard?

    When you use gboard instead of the blackberry keyboard, does the VKB always pop up?

    so I tried on android messages app, and enter to send does not work. so i continue to use textra. and no the VKB does NOT show up at all (which is exactly what we want). I did notice a little weirdness on typing after a while but quitting all the apps fixed it. so give it a try!

    It's rolling out slowly: https://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ign-dark-mode/

    If you can't wait, you can grab the latest version from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-apk-download/

    Make sure to force close the Messages app after installing the update to enable the new design.

    Nice! Hopefully Hub, Calendar and Productivity Tab will follow suit design-wise at some point so that transitions and integrations become more visually consistent.
