About Google Chat Enhancer

Google Chat Enhancer makes Google Chat and Chat in Gmail easier to use. It adds a new line on Enter, draft saving, sent-message history, back/forward buttons, and an option to open Chat links in the app. Press Enter to insert a new line, and send with Ctrl (Command) + Enter. It works just like Slack, so you won't send a message before you've finished writing it. Your unfinished messages are saved automatically. Drafts written inside threads are saved too, and shown in a list in the left navigation. If you step away, you can pick up right where you left off. The same drafts carry over between standalone Chat and Chat in Gmail. Sent messages are recorded in a list. Select one to jump straight back to that conversation. Using Google Chat as an app (PWA)? The app window has no browser back/forward buttons, so it's hard to get back to the previous conversation. This adds back and forward buttons to the left of the search bar, so even in the app you can move between conversations, the drafts list, and sent history without losing your place. Conversation links opened from Google Sheets and other apps normally open in a separate browser tab. Turn on "Open links in the app" and they are reopened in the running Chat app instead (if the app isn't running, they open in a tab as before). Each feature can be turned on or off from the popup in the toolbar. All saved data stays in your browser (Chrome storage) and is never sent to an external server. If you've moved from Slack, you can keep working in Google Chat the way you're used to.
