Are you running any mods, usually for sound? Disable any overlays, Steam, Xbox, Discord, etc.

No mods, Discord's off, and disabling the Steam overlay didn't help. However, after messing around with the controls, it appears my laptop's enter key is actually "numpad enter," which I suspect is the problem. Truly, MWO is a flawless masterpiece.

Unfortunately, there isn't an option to rebind ''send chat" or anything like that, only to rebind what key opens chat. Hence my salt.

So need to look for shortcuts key commands for laptops where the user is not using an external keyboard None of the following would work with my Desktop though. If using an external mouse, you may be able to setup a macro for that enter key.
Try using the Function Key + enter.
If your keyboard doesn't have a dedicated Enter key, you can type the Enter key by pressing Fn-Return. That's why some Return keys have “Enter” printed in small type above the word “Return.
Or use CTRL + J or CTRL + M as an alternative to Enter . They are the control characters for linefeed (LF) and carriage return (CR)
Or CNTRL key + Enter

Unfortunately, none of those worked. Thanks for trying to help, but it looks like I'm going to just have to buy a full keyboard.

Sweet./ Could you post the syntax you used, and which version of AutoHotKey? I figured my issue in actually setting it up was the syntax between the newer version and the older versions are different

I used 2.0 from https://www.autohotkey.com, and the syntax I used is incredibly barebones:
NumpadEnter::Enter
