I am using seatable to store tweet/toot/skeet texts. These are rather short, and mostly unformatted, so long text is not what I want. However they often span multiple lines
and have newlines. This works actually fine when I copy/paste existing text from eg
a text editor. But if I want to write a new text contents, I could not find a way to insert
a new line (other than copying from a text editor and pasting that).
Is there no key combination to achieve this? Could be a modifier key together with enter for
example.
Hi @baaden,
The character you want to add is the new line character. Its Unicode code is 000A. I’m not a mac OS expert at all, but here is a page I found about how to write Unicode characters with mas OS. Apparently, you can either set a “Unicode Hex Input” Keyboard and switch between keyboards (then hold Option and type the Unicode code) or (without setting the Unicode hex keyboard) press either the fn key or CTRL + ⌘ + Space and type the Unicode code in the search bar.
Just to make this answer as complete as possible:
for Linux users, you can do the same holding CTRL + Shift, then type U and then the character code (000A)
for Windows users, the operation works the other way: first type the Unicode code of your character and then ALT + X
Thank you, that’s fantastic. For MacoS specific was not so easy to find a convenient working solution, but I now did using this approach configuring a specific keyboard configuration file:
