Funny enough, I kind of like it better - the way that the enter key changed in and out of a ``` block would always screw me up and I'd end up sending messages before I wanted to, and then instead of bugging someone for 1 message I have to send 3 with the middle being "sorry, hit enter too soon".

There was already a setting for this with markdown:

>When typing code with ```, Enter should not send the message.

>With this checked use ShiftEnter to send.

So they didn't really provide anything new here, just changed the default behavior.

edit: formatting
