WhatsApp return/enter key problem

When I want to send a message on WhatsApp on my MacBook Air 2023 "15, I have to press the "Fn" key while clicking enter key everytime, the only time I don't have to is when I just open the app, however after sending my first text, I have to press "Fn" and then "return"

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.3

iMessage no longer works after Mac OS 13.2 update iMessage is no longer working properly after the recent Ventura 13.2 update. It's chosen a message to highlight, and when trying to select a different message, it will either pin that one to the top, or attempt to move it off the screen. Moving the arrows up and down doesn't help either.

iMessage on Mac - change default 'return' key behavior I instinctively hit 'return' to start a new section. In iMessage, 'return' sends the message instead of going to the next line. Can I change this behavior?

Does iMessage on macOS have a way to shortcut type an emoji? Most apps use the convention of typing a colon+word+colon (such as :apple:). Many social media or text-based apps use the convention of typing a colon+word+colon (such as :apple:) to shortcut to an emoji so you don't need to go using your mouse or other navigation methods to quickly get emojis in there. Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, etc. all do this. C'mon Apple, get on it. I don't want to be typing, then have to mouse over to click on an emoji icon, to then click in a search box to type in an emoji and then select it... MAKE IT EASIER PLEASE. Someone tell me there is a simple text-based shortcut for this?

The latest update for WhatsApp available on the App Store seems to have fixed this issue.
