As has been noted, this feature was landed in master shortly after 
0.8.0.  Since it is a new feature, and not a bug fix, it has not been, 
and will not be, included in any of the 0.8.x releases.  To get this 
feature, you'll have to run from master (not so crazy, as it's rather 
stable these days) or wait for 0.10 (probably in March or April).

Note that this feature needs a few more iterations.  It works, but the 
UI needs a bit more polish.  I've been keeping track of the problems I 
notice, and I'll probably send them all out in an email in the new 
year.  Your comments about it are welcome!

We've established that this is Ctrl-Enter, but I don't see this 
documented anywhere.  In fact, none of the composer shortcuts seem to 
be in the docs.  Should they be added?  If so, should they go into the 
"Keyboard shortcuts" or "Write a message" page?

This is a fine place for these discussions.  You may want to search 
bugzilla first [1].  We recognize that bugzilla is a pain, though, so 
we won't get mad if you're unable to find a relevant bug.

setting Status to "All" if you're not running master.  We close bugs 
when they're fixed in master, not when the fix makes it into a release.
