Certainly there's a real fix for the return key sending a message - could Option + Return be any lamer?

You're dictating a message to mom, and Siri has misinterpreted what you said in really not good ways, and you notice ten corrections you need to make or mom will pass out if she reads just the first two, but you want to add one more thing, so you hit return to start your last paragraph and oh.....


What's the chance anybody at Apple or elsewhere thinks maybe the default should be option + return = send...not return = send or option + return = return. Seems like a no-brainer. Or if I ran the world, Apple intelli-gents would spare us great anguish with the simple app alert: "Message riddled with typos and what appear to be insults and profanity -- edit, ai improve/clean up, or send as is?", or basic due consideration with easy checkboxes: A• Return key returns you to left margin and creates new paragraph as usual. B• Return key evokes panic attack in sender and strikes recipient dead on contact.


Still waiting for the "always right-size all columns to be able to read the title of your files so you don't overwrite your data or send wrong files to mom" checkbox, or maybe an option even more dire: "always merge when copying, never stop, skip or destroy irreplaceable data thanks to vague and downright dangerously curt verbiage, protocols and warnings".


What a wonderful world it would be.
