Description

There are scenarios when you want to insert line breaks while entering a value in an application such as Notepad, Wordpad, WhatsApp, etc.

Example:

In this article, let us see how we can insert line breaks using the ‘Input to desktop app’ activity.

Instructions

1. Enable the parameter ‘Use additional syntax for sending keys’ in the ‘Input to desktop app’ activity

2. If you want to enter the value “Hello How are you?” one after another using the ‘Input to desktop app’ activity, you can do so as follows:

   1. Hello{ENTER}How are you?

3. There are applications when you hit ‘Enter’, the value is actually submitted instead of inserting a line break. In cases such as this, you can click on the ‘INPUT FROM THE KEYBOARD’ option, press the key combination that inserts a line break in that application

   1. For example - In Whatsapp, if you hit ‘Enter’ the value is actually submitted. If you want a line break then you need to press ‘Ctrl + Enter' and the syntax that emulates ‘Ctrl + Enter’ is ^{ENTER}

4. If you want to enter the value “Hello How are you?” one after another in the WhatsApp application using the ‘Input to desktop app’ activity, you can do so as follows:

   1. Hello^{ENTER}How are you?
