flutter web - Press Shift+Enter for new line in multiline TextField widget

[topex-psy]

In flutter web, I need to create a text input field which is user for post a comment, so it's multiline and user can, as standard:

• press Shift+Enter for new line
• press Enter for submit

Steps to Reproduce

I use TextField widget with keyboardType: TextInputType.multiline and this focusNode which I got from https://stackoverflow.com/a/69359022/5060513

late final _commentFocusNode = FocusNode(
  onKey: (FocusNode node, RawKeyEvent evt) {
    if (!evt.isShiftPressed && evt.logicalKey.keyLabel == 'Enter') {
      if (evt is RawKeyDownEvent) {
        _sendComment();
      }
      return KeyEventResult.handled;
    }
    else {
      return KeyEventResult.ignored;
    }
  },
);

It used to work like a charm, but now (I don't know from when/which flutter update) it's no longer work. Can anyone help me solve this issue?

Expected results:

After press Shift+Enter: New line ✔️ After press Enter: Submit ✔️

Actual results:

After press Shift+Enter: Submit ❌ After press Enter: Submit ✔️

Code sample

TextField(
  focusNode: widget.focusNode,
  keyboardType: TextInputType.multiline,
  maxLines: null,
  ...
)

Hello @topex-psy. You can add maxLines: null to the TextField to make it a multiline input

[topex-psy]

maxLines: null

Yes, I've checked it and it was already given maxLines: null

[exaby73]

Then you should be able to press Enter (without shift) and a new line will be inserted

Then you should be able to press Enter (without shift) and a new line will be inserted

But that's not my need, my need is Enter (without shift) for post _sendComment();, and Shift+Enter for new line

I've solved this issue, the culprit is textInputAction. I had to change the textInputAction value from TextInputAction.done to TextInputAction.none and it's now works like it used to be.

Now I'll close this. Thank you.
