Fantastic! Thank you for figuring this out easteraries. I use line breaks a lot for parenthetical comments within a bulleted item, poetry, addresses, etc, and this was incredibly frustrating. Given that line breaks are a standard formatting method, it’s insane that Bear requires this obscure work-around to enable them. The proper solution would be to change Bear’s keyboard shortcut to Shift + Return. That’s the Mac standard, used by every other text editor I’ve tried.
