Inserting a Blank Line into a Cell
 
If you’re editing a cell, pressing Return ends editing.  If you need to insert a blank line in the text, choose Edit → Insert → Line Break.
 


Cmd-Return is the keyboard shortcut for inserting a blank line into a cell.

If you anticipate needing to insert many blank lines, you might want to enable Paragraph Mode (Edit → Paragraph Mode).  In Paragraph Mode, the Return key adds a blank line — press Option-Return to end editing.
 
Set Paragraph Mode to be the default for pages in new Notebooks in “Return Key” Preferences.
 
Show Return Key Preferences for me.
