A small but potentially useful modification on Facebook — if you’re commenting on someone else’s post, you now hit Enter to submit it (rather than using the Share button). This change doesn’t apply to status updates, and you can use Shift+Enter if you do want a multi-line comment. Thanks Matthew!

Jamie HanlonIf you make a comment, and I think if nobody else sees it.. when you go to delete it, it gives you an option to edit it..

as much as I love the simplicity, this is a terrible idea for immature users as it allows them to spam comments just by pressing CTRL+V enter repeatedly.

trkThis is a massive pain in the arse as my comments are almost always multiple paragraphs… so now I keep sending half-baked posts that make no sense 🙁

Yes, but considering how much I type during the day using plain vanilla ‘enter’ to insert a carriage return, using shift-enter instead is completely forgotten 99% of the time.
I wish there was a way to turn off this, and the stupid photo viewer. You can use NoScript (or similiar) to disable scripting which then allows you to use the old photo viewer… but it also disables your ability to post 🙁

I was incredibly annoyed about this until I found about the shift+enter thing just now.
Now I wish it was made a little more obvious.

MrTacoI don’t like it because it seems to have disabled my ability to post comments.

Also, you can tag people in comments now (same method as statuses eg @Angus Kidman)

LakawakHow is this useful? No one wants Facebook comment sections to be used like chat. Having to usehe SHIFT key to get to a new line is idiotic. IT will make comments look like htey wre written by immature 12 year olds with one long run on senece.

Andy SemlerBut what to do if hitting “enter” only submits a new line and will not actually submit the comment? I can’t tell if it’s a bug or if there’s some sort of setting on my keyboard I’ve accidentally toggled.

John BainThat is the exact same problem I have. I am unable to send messages or post anything that requires the enter key (which is almost everything now) because it just enters a new line.
Anyone know of a solution?
