Yes. That's OK.

can live best without them. There are very rare cases I need one.

I know, that many users want hard linebreaks. .. That's why the plugin will 
ship with a class definition, that will easily let them do this. eg:

».hl line 1
line 2

If you copy the above 2 lines into 
https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/tick-text/ it will work just fine.

On data entry or writing in wiki markup.

If you generally need hard line-breaks you can use the existing suggestion 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Hard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%20-%20Example:%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%20-%20Example%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%5D%5D>
 
from tiddlywiki-dot-com. Then it would only need a tag, instead of ticks.

As I remember, the initial goal was to use ticks if long texts are copy 
pasted from other resources.

hmmm, That shouldn't be the case. 

If you copy this to the page

».hl line 1
new line
new line

You get 1 paragraph with hard linebreaks. If you copy these

´ line 1
´ new line
´ new line

You get 3 DIVs, that are styled like paragraphs. 

That's exactly what you wanted. The toolbar buttons have to be fixed for 
the new behaviour, but that's probably a fast fix.
