The AI Chatbot bar is seriously useful, I tip my hat to whoever implemented this gem. However, Whenever the sidebar is not wide enough, the chatbot appears to think it's rendering on a mobile device, so the "return" key simply inserts a newline instead of sending the message. I _imagine_ this must be related to the website, but i'm wondering if there are any workarounds? just being able to hit enter in the AI chatbot sidebar instead of click the send button would improve my workflow immensely

Hey dylanmyers316,

The viewport width issue triggering mobile mode in the AI Chatbot sidebar is a known quirk, as ChatGPT and others switch behavior based on the sidebar's size. A quick workaround is to widen the sidebar until it hits desktop mode. Usually around 400px or more, depending on the chatbot. You can test this by dragging the sidebar edge. Alternatively, try installing the "Enter Key For AI" Firefox Extension which tweaks the Enter key to send messages even in mobile mode. If that doesn't cut it, a userscript via Violentmonkey to force a click on the send button (id="composer-submit-button") when pressing Enter might work, though sidebar access for extensions can be iffy.

Keep us updated.
