I believe this issue was raised previously and was answered.

The reason the default chat was changed from "room" to "kibitzers" is that too much chat intended for elsewhere (private or to kibitzers) was ending go to the table. Some of the time this chat was discussing the hand in progress and was spoiling the game for the players.

So, at a table: Default is to Kibitzers and you have to target your chat at the table explicitly.

Seems like the right way to do it.

Does anyone other than me find that the default chat to kibitzers/room seems to be randomly implemented? I am one who thinks default SHOULD go to kibs, but when I enter a playing room my chat is usually still defaulted to the room itself. If I hard switch it to kibs it stays there for a line or two and then defaults back to the room, or switches back and forth following no pattern I can descern. Wondering if I have some bug or a poorly installed version upgrade?

Just make ctrl-r a shortcut for chat to the room, and everybody will be happy :angry:

A chat to kibitzer and chat to room hot key already exist, and it is not CNTRL-R which is a hot key to reply to the last person who private messaged you.

When in a room, CNTL-K chats to kibitizers, and CNTL-S to room. For a list of control characters, see the following thread.
