New Paragraph on Enter

Create a new paragraph by pressing the enter key once.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates3

This plugin automatically inserts a double newline when you press the Enter key, making it easier to create paragraphs while typing.

Why does this exist?

I like to write in stories and was used to hitting the enter key once to create a new paragraph. I refused to change my habits, so I created this plugin to make it easier to create paragraphs while typing.

How to use it

Hitting enter now inserts two lines to create a new paragraph.

Shift + Enter will insert a single line break.

Lists, tasks, tables, and code blocks are not affected.

How it works

Technically, the plugin checks if you are in a list, task, table, or code block. If you are not in one of these special contexts, it will insert two newlines instead of one.
