Use case or problem
Turns out a feature I enjoyed using was actually a bug, and as a result has been patched out in versions higher than 1.7.7. I would press Shift+Enter to create a new line below the cursor, without moving said cursor.
Proposed solution
Have a hotkey option to be able to bind [create newline below cursor]. I imagine there wouldn’t be a lot of people that would want this, so leaving it unbound by default would be the go.
Current workaround (optional)
My current workaround was staying down at version 1.7.7, but I guess I can also use a Templater template which is just position the cursor on line 1, and then an empty line 2 - and I guess just deal with the flicking of the Templater code flashing occasionally. Otherwise I might end up making an Autohotkey script that simulates Enter, UpArrow when Shift+Enter is pressed…
