Description Ryan Perry 2008-10-07 11:07:41 PDT 
In OS X Safari 4 DP it is Control-Enter, I can't seem to figure out how to do the same thing in Windows.  Perhaps this just needs to be documented?

Confirmed in WebKit r39474 for Windows as PlatformOnly bug.
Comment 2 Robert Blaut 2008-12-28 23:13:10 PST 
Steps to reproduce:
1) open page: http://www.smilecms.com/webkit/list.html
2) Place cursor after "List Item three"
3) Try to insert <br> with ctrl+enter

Expected result:
Cursor should move down (Show Div innerHTML should show <br> tag)

Current result:
WebKit for Windows does nothing.

Hi,

I have been analysing the bug and here are some of my observations:

'Shift+ Enter' is the key combination to be used for entering a <br> tag in HTML.

In WebKit\win\webview.cpp, there is an array of key press entries(keyPressEntries[]) defined.
In this array, the above said key combination is missing. So we need to add the following line to the array.

{ '\r',   ShiftKey,			  "InsertNewline"                               },

This addition will insert an <br> tag.

Best Regards,
Vijay M
