How to detect that chat input is active?

If player has pressed enter key and start typing into chat - how can I detect this moment from addon?

There might be a different way, but you could hook into its OnEditFocusGained and OnEditFocusLost scripts.
Note that, if it loses focus by the player clicking another edit box, 'OnEditFocusLost' will trigger twice.

Lua Code:

ChatFrame1EditBox:HookScript("OnEditFocusGained", function() 
            print("gained")
        end)
 
ChatFrame1EditBox:HookScript("OnEditFocusLost", function() 
            print("lost")
        end)
