Description
I know a lot of people really like sending messages that are coherent, and a great way to do that is with the newline character. However, pressing the ENTER key in the messaging app sends a message, rather than typing a newline character. This page will show you how to (easily) change that action.
Prerequisites
- Rooted phone.
Process
- Log in as root.
- Mount the file system as RW.
- Enter the /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers directory.
- Change compose-assistant.js (line 109) and chatview-assistant.js (line 133) and set enterSubmits to be false.
- In the handleTextAreaKeyUp function in compose-assistant.js (lines 313 and 314) and chatview-assistant.js (lines 2225 to 2226), comment out the following lines:
- <source lang="text">this.considerForSend();
- Event.stop(event); </source>
- To actually display newlines in the chatview: In chatview-assistant.js, in the ChatviewAssisant::preFormatChatList method (around line 1313), locate the lines:
- <source lang="text">if(msg.messageText && !ChatFlags.isTransient(msg.flags)) {
- msg.messageText = msg.messageText.escapeHTML();
- }</source>
- and add the following just after:
- <source lang="text">msg.messageText = msg.messageText.replace(/\n/g,"
"); </source>
- <source lang="text">if(msg.messageText && !ChatFlags.isTransient(msg.flags)) {
- Mount the file system as RO.
- Reboot.
Post-Mod Screenshots
Issues
- When moving down a line, you can't get the first character to be lower-case.
Further Development
- I'm sure this is quite simple, but as I said before, I haven't put too much time into this yet... It would be really nice if we could use a SHIFT+ENTER to type a newline, and only pressing ENTER would send the message as it does now. That way, everybody wins.
