Hello! I was trying to replace all " " triple spaces with line-breaks using the “Find and replace” feature. I realized that I couldn’t use the editor to replace any text with a line-break. Perhaps adding such a feature for replacing text with line-breaks.

For context: I copied some text that originally included linebreaks, but when pasted the text had triple spaces were the linebreaks were, so I tried replacing them all with linebreaks again. This would be tedious to do so individually, as the text had 122 of these.

You can replace any characters with line breaks via “Find and replace” feature by using “^l”(lower case ‘L’) in the field “Replace with”.
