@mro @delta someone managed to make #deltachat_desktop run on #FreeBSD in the past: https://support.delta.chat/t/delta-chat-on-freebsd/2948/9

Should we change the default keyboard shortcut for sending messages in #deltachat_desktop #deltachat

The question is about whether the `"Enter"` key should create a newline or send the message.

The other shortcuts will stay the same:
- Ctrl/Cmd + Enter is always send
- Shift + Enter is always newline

Keep: Enter creates newline
65.7%
Change: Enter sends message
34.3%
