I would love this feature! It’s the one thing that irks me about Obsidian as a writer.

Sound like a interesting request.

However, I wouldn’t like to keep the line break as it is. Since I don’t use Obsidian to code, the default (single) line break makes more sense to me. A single break is single, a double break is double, this feels more obvious to me.

Nonetheless, a double line break would be comfortable, always if users could choose their own key binding under hotkeys.

The problem with this setting is that it’s a somewhat false view of the document. The obsidian renderer will display the line break as expected, but other applications might use the strict markdown interpretation when pasting into them or importing notes into them.

It would be better if there was a setting that actually changed the behavior instead of just fudging it for the obsidian rendered view

A quick solution:

  1. text expander apps, like Espanso (useful in general and not bound to Obsidian)
  2. some Obsidian community plugin - text expander (quickly to find, there are a bunch)
  3. a QuickAdd macro (very quick to setup and to execute community plugin)

All these plugins are easy to install and the shortcut to insert is also configurable and easy to execute.
A strong line break is always a double break, so a plugin is a better solution, imo.
