Typing newlines in the Inbox

[tom_o_malley]

Hi everyone!

Whenever I am typing an answer to an inbox message, I am wondering how to advance to a new line, or in other words, how to introduce a new paragraph. Surprisingly, that works just fine in the message boxes on an order page. There, you just hit the ENTER key to get to a new paragraph. In the inbox that doesn't work. I have tried Ctrl-ENTER, Alt-ENTER, and the like -- nothing seems to work.

My usual workaround is to type the message in a text editor and then cut-and-paste it into the message field of the inbox. But that is a nuisance. Has anybody found a better way to enter multiple paragraphs of text in the inbox?

Hi,
you may Try Shift+Enter to create a new line.

Thanks!

If  you click the icon on the left of the "Send" button then you can set how it works.

Thank you very much for your input. Yes, that works as well.

I wasn't aware of the drop-down selection box next to the Send button because it is so unsuspicious. This is really nice to know and it tells us about the two special keys: Shift+ENTER always creates a new line and Ctrl+ENTER always sends the message.
