On MacOS/SwiftUI how do you use keyboard to submit?

On macOS Is there a simple way to allow "enter" key to submit on RichTextEditor ? I actually couldn't find this feature on the SwiftUI TextEditor either.

I want standard text input for a chat view. Enter submits text, shift+enter adds new line.

Any insight, much appreciated!

Hmmm not sure, SwiftUI has a native onSubmit view modifier, but that will (most probably) not work here. Let's keep this open and discuss it further.

@ismyhc I have verified that you can use the SwiftUI .onKeyPress(.return) modifier, for instance:

RichTextEditor(
    text: $document.text,
    context: context
)
.onKeyPress(.return) {
    print("Save")
    return .handled
}

Keep in mind that if you do this, the text field will not insert any new lines.

Also, if you create a document-based app, you have other shortcuts for this action. See the new demo for more info.
