Shortcut to post

Development
1

As expected, a lot of users (including me :p) are complaining about the “shift+enter” shortcut. In every other software (including Facebook), shift+enter is newline. We should not put this shortcut to post.

Proposal: Replace “Shift+enter” by “Ctrl+Enter” to post messages

The shortcut used by Gmail to send emails is Ctrl+enter, we could use that instead of “shift+enter”, which is the default shortcut for newline in a lot of softwares.

Outcome: The shortcut will be changed from Shift+Enter to Ctrl+enter (see https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/pull/4184)

If some prefer Shift+Enter, perhaps the option to choose Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter to post messages could be set in the user’s preferences.
