Shift+Enter |
[start-line] |
| Split Line |
Ctrl+Enter |

Shift+Enter In Action
Before
After
- adds a new line and moves caret on that; in fact it means: move the caret
to end of line and insert new line then.
- original line is not affected at all
- apparently, indentation works as usually
Ctrl+Enter In Action
Before
After
- splits the line on a position of the caret, i.e. it behaves like normal
Enter, but without moving of the caret
- apparently, indentation works as usually
Undo
Undo is working exactly in the opposite direction for both actions.
