--- Comment #6 from ady <[email protected]> ---
A "row break" in Writer has one meaning, whereas in spreadsheet tools a "row
break" has at least 2 different meanings, and thus they cannot match Writer's.

This is not the first time the same issue has been raised. It has been rejected
in the past.

Moreover, the same OP (Orwel) has raised the same (or very similar) issue
elsewhere, with the same intention.

Calc, and other spreadsheet tools, use [ENTER] and [TAB] in special ways, and
they have their own customization options, separated from the general LO
keyboard customization dialog. They should be kept apart.

Unfortunately, users that do not use spreadsheet tools frequently do not
understand and do not care that spreadsheet tools have had the [ENTER] and
[TAB] usage specifically configured (and thus their combination with [SHIFT]
too) for decades, not just in Calc. Please do not base their usage in
spreadsheet tools on web browsers, nor on Writer.

The basic problem is the same as with other keyboard combinations that are
different in LO than in other (popular) office suits. The basic issue has never
been simple to resolve, and it is even more complicated when [SHIFT] is
involved.

The general keyboard customization dialog has several problems, especially
regarding [SHIFT]. Let me re-phrase that; LO fails to deal with all keyboard
combinations with [SHIFT] adequately (and that's the reason for so many
problems with inserting current day and current time in Calc, among other
popular keyboard combinations).
