I installed Minecraft today on Manjaro Linux from this repo by running makepkg -si
https://aur.archlinux.org/minecraft-launcher.git
It works except the chat in Multiplayer. I tried on two different servers.
When i press 'T' it says "cannot send text message", even when I use chat option 'shown', tried the same with 'commands only' and 'hidden' .
I cannot enter commands by pressing - either

That (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minecraft-launcher/) is the official launcher.
Did you purchase the game recently? If so, please check that you have set up your Xbox privacy settings correctly. It's possible that they prevent you from using ingame chat.
I was already using the official Minecraft launcher, the URL I provided above is the 'Git Clone URL' of the official launcher.
I tried changing the Xbox privacy settings and now I could see chat messages of other players but still not write chat messages.
I updated the launcher and now it works.
Even if it didn't work until I updated the launcher, I think the problem were the Xbox privacy settings as I set most of them to be blocked when I created the Account.
Thank you for your report!

Hmm, you could try using the offical Minecraft launcher for linux? Or you could try to contact the creators of that GitHub repo, 3rd party launchers aren't usually supported on the bug tracker.
