Send with Shift
by Cizzuk
Send with Shift changes the chat box so that holding the Shift key is required before a message or command is sent, which helps prevent accidental sends.
What it does
Players typing in chat must hold Shift to send a message or command, so a stray Enter press alone does not send unfinished text. The Shift + Enter combination sends the message. The mod is client-side only, so each player installs it and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API, and files exist for 26.2 on Fabric under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain and makes it open source.
Key features
Shift required to send
Holding the Shift key turns a plain Enter press into a send action, so accidental sends are less likely.
Chat messages and commands
The Shift requirement covers both ordinary chat messages and slash commands typed into the chat box.
Small and focused
The mod changes only the send behavior, leaving the rest of the chat interface as it was in vanilla.
