The keyboard shortcuts are still goofy (Opt-Shift-Return still inserts a paragraph break), but at least the mouse UI is clear and obvious.

It's software that is supposed to be "for the rest of us." But thanks for the tip. I am not sure the availability of keybindings qualifies as an excuse… We are talking about Apple here.

The find dialog is a regular cocoa NSTextView. To insert a newline into any NSTextView, it's ⌥↩. To insert a tab into any NSTextView, it's ⌥⇥. There's no keybinding for linebreaks, etc. But if you want one, <a href="http://hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html" title="Cocoa Text System" rel="nofollow">you can add it</a>. The selectors you want are: <code>insertLineBreak:</code>, <code>insertParagraphSeparator: </code><code>insertContainerBreak:</code><code>.</code> Sure there’s an excuse.
