Platform info

Operating System: OS X
Browser: Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
Signal version: 0.29.0

I assume that Shift-Return is the Windows convention; Option-Return is the OS X one.

How do we get this prioritized?

Shift+Return is not the MacOS way of doing it, should be Option+Return to add line breaks.

It'd be a breaking change for Mac users, so we'd have to add Option+Return support and keep the old behavior too. Happy to take a pull request for that.
