As far as I can tell, whenever I try to submit an answer with Ctrl + Enter, it doesn't work. As this is allowed on edits, reviews, and question asks I would be very happy to see this on answers too.

5Is that supposed to work? I don't think I've ever heard of that– Michael MrozekJul 17, 2013 at 16:52

4@MichaelMrozek Works with edit, ask (iirc) + review.– It'sNotALie.Jul 17, 2013 at 16:53

Definitely not bug...– MoosemanJul 17, 2013 at 16:54

2@Mooseman Huh? This works on (most) other SO forms...– It'sNotALie.Jul 17, 2013 at 16:56

23Perhaps it's a bit of a nudge to users that they ought to think a little more about their answers before summarily posting them with a hot-key to save 500 milliseconds.– user102937Jul 17, 2013 at 17:09

1It indeed works on questions/edit. Reproduced on the sandbox.– Danny BeckettJul 17, 2013 at 17:14

6@RobertHarvey Why is it allowed on questions then??– It'sNotALie.Jul 17, 2013 at 17:38

@newStackExchangeInstance I believe this is either feature-request or status-bydesign.– MoosemanJul 18, 2013 at 11:52

i dont see why is that important you can always use the button [ Post Your Answer ] .. not that hard to move the mouse and click it :D– Ali AlmoullimJul 18, 2013 at 12:53

1It isn't: it's just a small convenience that I would appreciate.– It'sNotALie.Jul 18, 2013 at 12:57

We already have keyboard shortcuts for most actions on post, voting, flagging/moderating, editing, etc. and the shortcut is already enabled for post edition. Seems easy to just allow post submission, no?
Also, it's annoying to reach for the mouse just to submit your answer :(
tab+enter already works; why have another shortcut for it?

If you can see this, I successfully submitted this answer by pressing Ctrl + Enter, thanks to the SE like I like it user script. I got a “Do you want to leave this page?”, but apart from that it worked fine.

You sure? I've tried Ctrl+Enter and Shift+Enter at the sandbox, nuthin'.– OllieJul 1, 2021 at 16:56

Yes, I tested it with this very answer and have been using it like since I can think. Could be browser- and settings-specific though. Jul 1, 2021 at 17:00

@Ollie Same. I can't get it to work at the sandbox. Not in Mardown mode, not in RT mode, and not even using the old editor. Jul 1, 2021 at 17:01

@Wrzlprmft What browser are you using? I tested it on Chrome on Windows. Jul 1, 2021 at 17:01

@41686d6564: Firefox on Linux (with Tridactyl, but that doesn’t seem to occupy that shortcut). Jul 1, 2021 at 17:03
