Hi, That sounds like a rather convoluted method. I am a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts, but this one sounds more trouble than it's worth. Alternatively, you can insert a page break by going up to the Edit menu, down to Insert, then choose Page Break from the sub-menu. You could also create your own keyboard shortcut for this fairly easily.
1. Go to System Preferences. 2. Open the Keyboard pane. 3. Select the Shortcuts tab. 4. Interact with the table and navigate down to the Apps item. 5. Stop interacting with the table and navigate right past the Application Shortcuts table to the Add button and press it. 6. Choose TextEdit from the Applications pop-up menu. 7. Enter "Page Break" exactly as quoted here in the menu item field. 8. Choose a keyboard command for the shortcut. I chose cmd-return since that's what I've used in other apps. 9. Press OK or Add or whatever it is to confirm. 10. Close System Preferences. The shortcut is now ready to be used. Later...

To insert a page break, choose Format > "Wrap to page" (or press Command-Shift-W) so the break is visible. Position the cursor where you want to place the page break. Press Control-Q, then press Control-L. To remove the page break, press Delete. This is a little weird as it uses the control rather than the command key but it certainly used to work for me. I have not tried it recently though.

In text Edit, what is the keyboard shortcut to creat a New Page? In Page it is command-entr but that doesn't seem to work in Text edit.
