Once upon a time, pressing Enter submitted comments, even while converting Kanji using Japanese input methods. This was fixed by disabling Enter to submit comments altogether:
- Please disable Enter to submit comments (Jun 1 '11)
- Please disable Enter to submit comments (again) (Jun 22 '16)
Then, there was a fix. (Thank you @Chocolate for letting me know.)
- Improved IME Handling, re-enabling Enter to submit (Jun 22 '16) --(*)
With this fix (*), Enter now sends comments, except when you're selecting the conversion suggested by the input method.
I feel this is irksome, and would like you to concider disabling Enter altogether again.
We press Enter frequently while typing in Japanese (変換文字列の確定のために): very often I press Enter twice accidentally, which sends the comment without my intention. I usually end up editing 3-4 times before my comment is finally what I meant it to be.
Enter to submit suits for input boxes where it isn't otherwise pressed: comments in English, in one hand, is a good fit because no newlines are included; comments which include Japanese, on the other hand, are more like normal posts or tweets in this regard. For shortcut, Ctrl+Enter should send the comment.
The idea was briefly discussed in the response for (*), but I don't think it gathered enough attention from the community.
Environment (just in case): Linux (Xubuntu 18.04), Mozilla Firefox 70.0.1, fcitx+mozc for Japanese input.
