The problem: recently the UI for the stackexchange chat switched to mobile even in my browser on the notebook. While the UI might work fine for tablets and phones, it has some serious drawbacks on conventional systems, namely on computers w/o touchscreen and conventional keyboard.

Likewise, i was unable to find a configuration option to keep using the old style of the chat, which had tons of advantages on a traditional computer, like users and favorite messages in the sidebar etc.

The most annoying part is that the new UI forces me to use the mouse to click "send" on every message, because hitting "Enter" only adds a \n to the multiline input field.

Is there any possibility to keep using the old chat (which i greatly preferred on the notebook) or at least a configuration option that enables "send on enter" in the mobile UI?
