Wolflich Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Never heard of it. Can it be killed? I could probably find silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosCalix Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's annoying, agreed.Want a tip? Shift+EnterI use it EVERYWHERE now because of websites that do paragraph spacing and because of chats that let you do line breaks by pressing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginpanther Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's annoying, agreed.Want a tip? Shift+EnterWhat the hell? When did this Shift+Enter to do a newline without a paragraph break become a thing? Wasn't shift-enter like the opposite of this behavior in Excel? Or has the gin finally taken my recollection from me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolflich Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 I used it in chats but I thought that was all it did.*mocksshittyspacing* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosCalix Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) What the hell? When did this Shift+Enter to do a newline without a paragraph break become a thing? Wasn't shift-enter like the opposite of this behavior in Excel? Or has the gin finally taken my recollection from me?I have no clue, but I've been doing it for years.I know that doing it on OpenOffice and maybe Word has some very odd effects when you try formatting, like changing the paragraph margins. It will count them as the same paragraph even with multiple single line breaks between them, so if you do it out of habit like me... Well, adjusting the margins can fuck up your entire document.

ChaosCalix Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Think I'd rather it was turned off personally unless there's some yet-unrevealed purpose it serves.The purpose of it is to make people able to make new paragraphs without hitting enter twice. Unless you're like me and love making a LOT of line breaks in your messages most of the time, they arguably reduce the amount of times you have to hit enter over the course of 100 messages.At least, that's the theory I can come up with to explain why it seems to be the "standard" way to do it these days.

Wolflich Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Is it? I think this is the first time I've ever seen it done anywhere.I guess it might save some time but honestly pressing the same key twice in a row... you'd have to measure the difference in milliseconds. Or are people wearing out their enter keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosCalix Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I agree, it's kind of a poor excuse, but that's all I can come up with.Also, I've encountered it quite a few times, now. And it's annoying every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
