Bug Report: Enter/Return shouldn't submit the prompt.
`Steps to Reproduce`
  1. Begin editing a multiline prompt.
  2. Press enter/return.

Please note that when the prompt is empty or contains only whitespace, Enter/Return will add newlines. However once there is non-whitespace in the prompt then the behavior of Enter/Return changes to submit the form.

`Expected Result`

A newline is inserted and I continue editing my prompt.

`Actual Result`

Wasted credits on a half-edited prompt.

`Environment`

mac 26, Chrome

This happens in a lot of similar boxes (including Discord) - you need to use Ctrl-Enter for a newline without submitting.

People who mainly "chat" presumably don't want to keep clicking on a button, people (like me) who mainly write multi-paragraph prompts have just learned to adapt and use Ctrl-Enter instead.

Ok well apart from not asking you, and your answer being unhelpful and misguided, "most of apps" you aren't writing very long prompts in, "most of apps" don't cost money when you accidentally hit enter. Many also give you the option to change that.
