I have a chat service where I would like the text input to work like on WhatsApp web, shift+enter to skip a line and enter to send.  
The problem is that when I add the action to enter, even with shift pressed, it sends the message, when the expected behavior would be to skip the line.

Has anyone experienced this?

Yes Im having the same issue. I have tried multiple ways. It was working before and for the last few weeks it stopped working. I have a code with custom javascript to check if the shift key is pressed and to do nothing. I have also tried the AI editor within weweb all to no avail
