Solution

  • In Vue 3, the keypress event is deprecated and is no longer reliable for handling key events, especially for the Enter key. Instead, you should use @keyup.enter or @keydown.enter to handle Enter key presses consistently.

    The @keyup.enter event is generally preferred for cases like form submission, as it triggers when the user releases the Enter key. Using @keyup will ensure other keys, like the Space bar, work normally without interference.

    You can modify you code like this.

      <input
      v-model="query"
      class="chat-field-input"
      type="text"
      autofocus
      :placeholder="$t('inputTitle')"
      :aria-label="$t('inputTitle')"
      :disabled="disabledtextbox"
      @keyup.enter="submit({ text: query })"
      @input="$emit('input')"
      @blur="$emit('blur')"
      @focus="
        microphone = false;
        should_listen = false;
        $emit('typing');
      "
    />
    

    Explanation Replaced @keypress.enter with @keyup.enter: The @keyup.enter event captures the Enter key consistently across browsers and is not deprecated in Vue 3.

    Additional Note If you ever need to handle key events differently, consider @keydown or @keyup depending on when you want the event to trigger (when the key is pressed down vs. released). But for most cases involving text input submission on Enter, @keyup.enter is a solid choice.
