Hello everyone!
With this message I am reaching out to the developers/maintainers of
Extension:VisualEditor. Should I maybe cross-post it on wikitech-l? I have already tried
the
mw.org support desk [1] and IRC without much success.
1. I was wondering if there were any technical reasons for Extension:VisualEditor not
inserting a `<br />` element on `SHIFT+ENTER`. This seems to be standard
functionality in most other visual HTML editors, plus `<br />` is supported by
wikitext.
2. If there was no technical reason, I'd ask for support to implement a Gadget that
allows for this behavior. I have already tried a couple of things, but it looks like the
`SHIFT+ENTER` event can not be handeled easily. Apparently some core code handles the
event and always creates a new paragraph. I did not succeed to stop propagation and
override this behavior from my handler.
Maybe I am just missing something here. Any help would be much appreciated.
