Zettlr: Feature: add ctrl + (shift +) enter, to open new lines

[penCsharpener]

this is a thing I really enjoy from Visual Studio Code.
I can press Ctrl + Enter and it opens a new line below and put the cursor at the first position
Ctrl + shift + Enter adds the new line ~after~ above the cursor.

Usage cases:

• writing bullet points, correcting something mid-line and then jumping straight into new line for next bullet

Sounds reasonable! While I understand the supposed functionality of Ctrl+Enter and really see the use-case, I'm not quite sure what exactly Ctrl+Shift+Enter should be doing …?

[penCsharpener]

Oh, thanks for pointing that out.
Ctrl + shift + enter would open a new line above (not after) the current line.
I use both ways of opening new lines a lot; for example because some markdown formatting only works with empty lines being present.

Alright, so just that I get it right: When inserting new lines above or below, you do _not_ want to have the list type indicator added, even when you're in a list …?

[penCsharpener]

erm, kinda hard to say. I think easiest would be to copy the behaviour of VS Code. What editor/IDE are you using for Zettlr? I'd say no to keep it simple. The other advantage of opening new lines this way is when having text selected. It doesn't delete the selection. It just jumps to the new line.

The above is in VS Code. The second time I pressed Ctrl + Enter and it did add a list type indicator (if you mean the *) because I was already in the list.
I hope this helps

Ah, yes it does and I understand what you're doing. Underneath, Zettlr makes use of CodeMirror — so it has exactly the same options available as VSCode, as VSCode also uses CodeMirror as the main editor.

I think implementing this behaviour will take no longer than about 30 minutes, so just keep waiting, it'll come!

btw I think VS Code uses Monaco as code editor and not CodeMirror.

Oh, here we go again, Microsoft. Doing their own stuff instead of sticking to the market standard 🙄

So I correct myself: Zettlr has much more possibilities than VSCode

Here you go, it'll come in 1.2!
