Yes, i tried the text.substr(0, text.length-1). In my first mail, i wrote
why doesn't wok:
"I though of striping the enterkey by hand in the callback like
`textArea.text = textArea.text.slice(0, -1)`, but, the problem is that if
you are not in the end of the input this doesn't work." (text.substr(0,
text.lenght-1) does bassically the same as text.slice(0, -1) ).

I don't think that multiline support is critical. The problem of changing
TextArea to a TextField, is that when writing long texts, altought you are
writing only one line, TextArea expands in a multilineal way, which is
easier to edit, while TextField mantains the widget size and the text moves.

I remember that Mitakuuluu2 [1] [2] app had a nice conversation input. A
widget that expands in a multilineal way with a custom enter action. I had
a glance at the code, and i find it very hard to understand (i'm a
begginner at qml). I'll try to reuse that code, any help on understand it
will be appreciated =).

Thanks!
