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 … ?

@ekopalypse

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

Can you also post all your debug info? (Accessible via the last menu item, the ? menu)

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.
