+			//problem for mobile: default iOS keyboard function is to make AutoCapitalization happen on new lines.
+			//AutoCapitization effectively presses the virtual Shift key when it thinks a new line/sentence is happening. 
+			//iOS result: First Enter press will make a new line, but the second will act like shift+enter, sending the prompt to AI.
+			//ideally we would detect if the user is using a virtual keyboard, and disable this shortcut for them.
+			//because mobile users' hands are always near the screen, tapping the send button is better for them.
+			//caveat: people on an iPad using a Bluetooth keyboard will need to be treated as PC users for this purpose.
+			//note: CAI seems to have this handled. PC: shift+enter = new line, enter = send. iOS: shift+enter AND enter both make new lines, and only the send button sends.
