TXT file: line break instead of paragraph break about autokey-python2 HOT 3 CLOSED

I used "\n" with success in a script. Here is the code I used.

dhr = "{{dhr}}"
cr = "\n"
home = ""
keyboard.send_keys(home + cr + dhr + cr)

from autokey-python2.

I don't know if '\n' will be interpreted as a line break or as a paragraph
break. I would try Ineu's solution first.

The other thing to try would be to find the character code for a line break
and see if you can specify it as a Unicode character.

See:
https://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html#unicode-literals-in-python-source-code

I don't know if you can put one of those in a phrase, but they will
certainly work in a macro.

Please let us know what works for you.

There are a lot of members who may know your answer, while here, there are
only two of us

Thanks a lot for your help
@ineuw 's suggestion results in the same "new paragraph" behaviour for office apps. What I need is [Shift] + [Enter]. Therefore, the very best and simple solution is using a script with one command:

keyboard.send_keys("Yours sincerely"+"<shift>+<enter>"+"Anonymus")

Problem solved :)

PS.: ok, I'll direct my questions to the google group next time ;-)
