As of early September, the Enter key submits comments on most sites. I know there was some grumbling about this functionality at first, which is normal for UI changes, but it seems like most people have gotten comfortable with it now. It still hasn't been carried over to Area 51, though. Is this intentional, or an oversight? I, for one, would like to be able to submit A51 comments with Enter, now that I'm used to the behavior.

I remember having read somewhere that Area 51 is based on a frozen SE-2.0 version and does not receive the main branch updates (usually)– Tobias KienzlerCommented Oct 11, 2010 at 10:19

1@Tobias, that is the reason, you're right. But I think it would be nice if they'd port this feature over.– PopsCommented Oct 11, 2010 at 13:16

@Tobias, interesting. But whether those bugs should be fixed -- they should -- is irrelevant to whether the behavior should be implemented at A51.– PopsCommented Oct 11, 2010 at 13:57

@pop true too, it would really be good if A51 received backports. Also e.g. the inbox– Tobias KienzlerCommented Oct 12, 2010 at 7:12

We pulled in the press-enter-to-submit-comment change, so the Area 51 comment form has the same behavior as the rest of the network now.
