Last night, Facebook made a change to post comments. Now, when you press Enter, your comment will be submitted, and the “Comment” button itself is gone. This post will tell you how to revert back to the previous behavior using browser extensions!
(Click “Like” above to quickly share this solution with your friends on Facebook!)
This change is in keeping with Facebook’s apparent goal to make the site more instant and chat-like, because this Enter behavior is how most Instant Messenger clients work. However, many users don’t like the change. Enter=New Line is standard behavior everywhere on the web in textareas and comments.
Though you can press Shift+Enter now to enter a new line, this just doesn’t come naturally to most people. Luckily, there is hope!
The extensions below (more versions coming soon) will revert back to the old behavior, letting you press Enter without fear of posting!
