[Feature request] An Enter key that works like other Android keyboards

[tenextractor]

The current keycode enter sends the message in applications like Discord. This causes messages to be accidentally sent.
The current keycode \n does not send messages, but enters a literal \n character in browser URL/search boxes instead of going to the entered URL/searching.

I want an Enter key that works like other Android keyboards, which adds a newline in messaging applications and triggers search in browsers. This behavior was implemented in my keyboard as follows:
ctx.sendKeyChar('\n'), where ctx is an InputMethodService.

I request a new keycode (maybe called smart_enter) that implements this behavior. I would have contributed and made a PR for this, but for some reason, I couldn't get this keyboard to build in Android Studio.

Just add the key to your custom layout🔍

Last mentioned in #822. Is there, or could there be, a keyword that makes a gesture send \n?

@ChiefMikeK As I've said, \n does not satisfy my requirement.

Then let me say: Is there, or could there be, a keyword that makes a gesture send newline? What happens when you press Ctrl j?

Is your original issue specific to Discord ? I've found that this is due to a bug in the app that I've fixed in e1191f3.
Could you try it ? The debug build is at the end of this page: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/actions/runs/12968910453

@Julow Thanks, I have tested the debug apk and it solves the issue.
