Obviously this would be a big problem if that was the default behaviour,
i.e. either you’re doing something extra that you didn’t describe, using a plugin that malfunctions or just … ? -
- dont’ see what I am doing extra - working in win editor works fine
- several plugins installed, but none seems performing an action
- also no macro active

Finally found it:
Menu ‘Macro’ -> ‘Modify Shortcut/Delete Macro…’ -> ‘Scintilla commands’:- SCI_NEWLINE: change to e.g. Shift+Enter
- SCI_TAB: change to e.g. Shift+Tab
No need to change the shortcuts in ‘Main Menu’ (e.g. ‘Insert Blank Line Below Current’ can stay as is).
wierd, Scintilla using common keys as shortcut …

If that works for you, that’s fine, but really it should have worked with these settings and probably does for most.
