# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop composer Enter key blocked by IME composition handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members concern the desktop app's message composer, where Enter reportedly does not send messages, and several proposed fixes address IME composition state (stale flags, keyCode 229, draft updates during CJK input). They appear to share one theme, though the exact cause and outcome of each change is not established here.
