Thanks for filling this gap while we waited for #slack to stop being slack and implement it natively. Now we can got to: Preferences --> Advanced --> Input options, and then tick "Show send button" after doing this, and without a restart, ctrl+enter sends your message.

Did not work for me. Slack now has a preference in the advanced setting which duplicates this ... and adds a send button.

Похоже что создатели шлака, юзают "макбучную" или эпловскую раскладку. На которой под мезинцем левой руки клавиша "fn". Поэтому им даже в голову не могло прийти сделать отправку сообщения ctrl+enter. Думаю что они даже enter не смогут найти т.к. на их клавах он называеться return. А Сатори Таканами, юзает правильную раскладку, спасибо за это расширение!
