Message app - don't sent with "return" key

Is there a way to configure the Message app to not send a message with the "return"?


I am not a great typist and I frequently miss-hit the "return" key before the message is complete.

I have to agree with the others, and leroy has some workarounds, but others have noticed for years that one can hit return on the iPhone and continue typing but on the Mac it just gets sent then and there. At least Ventura now has "unsend" if you are quick (a few seconds).
