Is anyone else having the same problem with Metatext, where you can’t press return unless directly after a period.
Like that.

I can’t press enter or skip a line unless there’s a period first.

@flsounds Yes! In fact, until your post I didn’t realize I could press it even then!

Exclamation points work, too.

But then you got me poking, and… turns out you just need to switch to the number/punctuation keyboard. They’ve pulled @ and # from other keyboards, and pushed “return” deeper in exchange.

On iOS, at least.

@pwinn testing now

And it works with the numeric keyboard just like you said, and I have iOS too. Thanks for responding and texting it out yourself. This is good news!!

@flsounds for what’s worth, also toot! does that. I think it could be because of the “optimized” keyboard setting that replaces the return key with @ and #

Going into the “numbers” keyboard brings out the return key (I just noticed it!), so that could be the best work around.

Plus you have to click that to go to the punctuation keyboard, which will reveal the enter key even without entering it.

@pacbard so this is an issue that a lot of people have probably, is it an iPhone?

@flsounds I think so? It has been bugging me. I didn’t realize that the enter key is in the number layer until you pointed it out. I just assumed that I couldn’t use the enter key on mastodon.

@pacbard apparently Metatext is iPhone only, and I don’t know about the one you mentioned. We need an android user to verify.
