Starting a codeblock and pressing enter should not send a message

[mitar]

Starting a codeblock with ``` and pressing enter should not send a message but allow you to continue writing the code.

What about Shift + Enter instead of Enter not to send the message?

[mitar]

Shift + Enter works, but it is a really nice goody to automatically detect ```. At least Slakck does it like that.

@mitar Are you sure slack does it like that? I haven't experienced it... Is that one desktop, mobile, or web browser?

[mitar]

I have it in Slack under Advanced Options on Desktop version: "When typing code with ```, ENTER should not send the message. *"

[graywolf336]

Interesting, never knew that. That is a good thing to have

Looks like this hasn't been touched in awhile. Is this open for pull requests? I would be interested in implementing this feature.

[graywolf336]

@xmclark Go for it!

[xmclark]

@graywolf336 awesome. I cloned the project and am poking around, getting familiar with the architecture. I need to sign the developer agreement, but that should be easy. I will mark this issue as progressing. Actually just checked the docs, and it says that somebody will mark it as progressing.

@mitar suggested that Slack has an option in the Preferences that turns this feature on. Unless anybody has an issue with that, I'm going to mimic that behavior.

@xmclark How's the progress going?

Currently we support multiline messages by pressing CTRL+Enter. This enhancement is not on our short term roadmap. We will revisit it the future.
