Maybe this is already possible, but I’d really love it if I could, while editing the body of a notecard, be able to hit Enter and go to a new line instead of “locking” the notecard. I know I can start new lines in the Inspector view (Mac) of the card, but it would be great if I could have the same editing ability while writing on a notecard in the main window, too.

Thanks!

You can change the Return key behaviour under the Navigation settings of Scrivener \> Preferences. Alternatively, you can leave Return ending editing and use Opt-Return to insert a new line when working on the corkboard or outliner.
