Where is my enter key

dhiraj_santhanam · Dec 11, 2013

Can someone please say me how to go to the next line in texting in hangouts I can't find my enter key.... :thinking:

From all the time I've used Hangouts which is a while I can only tell you paragraphs within one message isn't possible (or obvious as I've never managed it)

Assuming texting works the same as the message function anyway, I use 8sms for texts.

I was wondering too.
It's there when writing e-mails, but not for SMS ???

I don't see the Option with the stock keyboard. I use swiftkey though and it has a return key. Other keyboards may as well.

8sms doesn't have it either. Neither does Messenger (Facebook). As hinted at above, if the text entry field does not allow paragraphs, you won't get an enter key. You'll get an onscreen send arrow instead.

Hangouts will allow paragraphs. I do it all the time with swiftkey. Not sure why stock keyboard doesn't have it.

That's hilarious! I totally meant swiftkey keyboard. I don't use the stock keyboard.

I wasn't sure if that was a typo or not so I checked and sure enough, pressing the shift key displays a return key in place of emoji.

I mean, I take full credit for that.

:vroam:

No dude that's not a typo..... We have finally discovered something....

Aha, I'm on the Swiftkey beta, holding just brings up emoji and tapping just sends.

If you're using the google keyboard app, you can access the enter key by changing the emoji button using shift to get to capitals. It should then allow you to use an enter key. Please note that this does not work with the automatic capitalization; you need to shift yourself.

EDIT: Ah, it seems OP already discovered that.

EDIT EDIT: corrected a typo

I've just tried that on mine and I don't need to hold the emoji button, just press 'shift' and the emoji key becomes a return/enter key.
