Support holding Ctrl+Enter to create multiple new lines

[pintassilgo]

I just realized Cuda is unable to create multiple empty lines by holding Enter. I thought it was a bug, but then I realized other editors behave the same.

But these other editors still have a way to manually create multiple new lines with tap-and-hold: Ctrl+Enter. But in Cuda this shortcut does nothing.

I holded Enter in linux-gtk2 + qt5 versions - it made 20 empty lines!
You can assign Ctrl+Enter in the cmd-palette, F9 key.

Doesn't work, creates a single line. Both in my main Cuda and in the Flatpak version.

Assign to what?

I expect holding Ctrl+Enter should create multiple new lines by default, as it is in other editors, but it does nothing.

May depend on OS keyboard settings, e.g. key-repeating setting , no?

Key repeating is enabled. If I hold a printable key, like a, I get many aaaaaaaaa. But I can't get multiple new lines by holding Enter. But it's the same for other editors. The only difference is that other editors can create multiple new lines by holding Ctrl+Enter instead. Cuda doesn't work that way either.

Because Ctrl+Enter is not assigned in the Cmd Palette. Shift+Enter is assigned there. How can we support Ctrl+Enter w/o assigning it?

Could be default as it is for other editors. Tested VSCode, Sublime and Kate, all of them work.

[Alexey-T]

Do they have Shift+Enter support? does it repeat newlines? if yes, use Shift+Ent. if no, from where did I take Shift+En hotkey, I don't remember but I copied some other app.

[pintassilgo]

OK, so Shift+Enter works in Cuda by default. Shift+Enter also works in other editors.

The only difference here is that Cuda doesn't assign Ctrl+Enter by default, unlike others.

[Alexey-T]

We have a reason to not assign it- we have only 2 places. hotkey1, hotkey2. Enter / Shift+Enter. hardcode Ctrl+Enter? bad. user may want it for plugins.

[pintassilgo]

Not hardcode, could be changed by user, but could be assigned by default for consistency as users coming from other editors might be used to that shorcut.

[Alexey-T]

I have no slots for hotkey3 (Ctl+Enter), 2 slots are busy for Enter / Shift-Enter.
I recall why I set Shift+Enter - to continue entering text if holding Shift for selection.

@pintassilgo I use RJ TextEd and Ctl+Enter or Shift-Enter do not work.
But keeping Enter pressed creates endless new lines.
