jQuery Chat multi-line textarea support in place of input control

The current chat widget renders the user-input as an INPUT control, which means it cannot support multi-line support.

Wish for the option of rendering a TEXTAREA control instead of an INPUT for the chat widget:

 

Something like the following:
let chat = $(target).kendoChat({
  messages: {
        placeholder: ResourceManager.GetInstance().getResource("SR_TYPE_A_MESSAGE"),
        textarea: true
    },
      user: user, 
      post: async (m: kendo.ui.ChatPostEvent) => await this.post(m),
    }).data("kendoChat");

Hello, Christian,

Currently the feature is not available in the Chat component. There is an existing request about it in our Feedback Portal where you can cast your vote. 

A possible approach would be to try to override the source code to render a textarea instead of input.
