Description (last modified by )
I'd like there to be another enter key mode which matches people's expectation on how paragraphs and new lines are created, based on how most people use a textarea.
The rule would be:
- Two new lines = P element
- One new line = BR element

So, as I understand:
This would be slightly similar to how enter works when editing a markdown file. Single new line actually does nothing, but two new lines create a new paragraph.
However, I don't know any editor which works this way and we definitely don't want the default behaviour of enter key be to insert a <br>. In most cases when user presses enter key (s)he wants to create a new paragraph. Line breaks make sense in limited number of cases and therefore there are the secondary option.
I confirm this ticket because it is a valid feature request, but we are not planning to work on this.
