Enter should send when using a physical keyboard on Android

When using Claude Code from an Android tablet with an attached physical keyboard, Enter inserts a newline instead of sending the message. Ctrl+Enter does not send either. The only way to submit is tapping the on-screen send button, which breaks the typing flow completely.
On desktop, ~/.claude/keybindings.json honours chat:submit = enter, but that file has no effect on the Android client.
Request — any one of these would solve it:
- (a) Send with Enter automatically when a hardware keyboard is attached, with newline on Shift+Enter (same as desktop).
- (b) A setting: "Send with Enter".
- (c) Honour
keybindings.jsonon mobile clients too.
Device: Lenovo Idea Tab (Android), with keyboard case.
