  When the editor control is in rich-text mode and you press the ENTER key it double-spaces the line.

  If you press SHIFT+ENTER it single-spaces the line.

  How can I make the ENTER key behavior match SHIFT+ENTER?

  Thanks.

  Hi Paul!

  You can check if the user has pressed ENTER key then you need to suppress this and send SHIFT+ENTER keys combination.

  bool suppressNextEnter = true;
  
  private void C1Editor1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
  {
              if (e.KeyChar == 13)
              {
                  if (suppressNextEnter)
                  {
                      e.KeyChar = (char)0;
                      e.Handled = true;
                  }
                  else
                      this.suppressNextEnter = true;
              }
  }
  
  private void C1Editor1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
  {
              if (e.KeyValue == 13 && !e.Shift)
              {
                  e.Handled = true;
                  SendKeys.Send("+{ENTER}");
                  this.suppressNextEnter = false;
              }
  }
  
  private void C1Editor1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
  {
              if (e.KeyValue == 13 && e.Shift)
              {
                  this.suppressNextEnter = false;
              }
  }
  

  Best regards,

  Meenaksi,

  Thanks for the reply. Note: I was able to implement the specific functionality using just the KeyDown event.

  However, I now have the realization that I still need to allow the user to be able to output a new paragraph (the original ENTER key processing) because, otherwise, the user could not have mixed indents in one control.

  The “normal” ENTER key would create a new paragraph (HTML “

  ”).
  
  The “normal” SHIFT+ENTER key would output a newline (HTML “
  
  ”).

  I can have ENTER perform a SendKey(<shift+enter>) BUT …
  
  I was unable to get the normal ENTER processing because it would be translated to SHIFT+ENTER and the code would get into a loop.

  Can you see any way that I can get the ENTER key alone to perform a newline (translating it to a SHIFT+ENTER like your solution above) and also get SHIFT+ENTER or some other key combination to perform the “normal” ENTER processing of creating a new paragraph?

  Thanks.
  
  – Paul

  Hi,
  
  Please note we cannot achieve your requirement because this is the designed behavior of C1Editor.

  Hope, it clarifies for you.

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  I understand that you still observe this behavior.
  
  For further investigation, which builds have you been using previously where the behavior was different?

  Thanks.
