Adding a line brake with phone keyboard
-
Hi,
When writing a blog post on my computer I can add a line brake by holding SHIFT then pressing ENTER. This is adding a smaller space, so to speak, before writing a new paragraph then if I only press ENTER (which I guess is a whole new block).
How do I add this smaller space (line brake) when writing a blog post on my mobile phone? I don’t know a way on the digital keyboard to hold SHIFT while pressing ENTER.
Is there a way to add a, smaller, line brake manually, through the post editor?
Hope you understand my question 🙂

Hi! On the phone keyboard, usually if you press Shift once it will hold itself until after you type the next keystroke.
Can you give that a try?

Yes, I tried that, also tried to hold down shift while pressing enter. But nothing seem to work. I changed the editor to code editor and added < br > instead which worked, but that is pretty difficult.
Is there not some way to manually add a line brake through the menus?

Doing some research, the ability to do a “soft return” (shift+return) would need to be a function of the device’s keyboard.
On Android, it’s not possible to insert a line break like you would on a desktop computer.
On iOS, Apple has added the functionality to do that, so if you happen to have an iOS device, you can see how to add a soft return here (under the “Force text to the next line or page” section):

Since
<br>is HTML code, the only way to add that to your post on Android is to do it via the code editor.I hope that clarifies things. Let us know if you have any questions.

Okay, then I atleast know it’s not possible on Android. Will have to use <br> instead then :)
Thanks
