scriptui edittext ctrl enter on Windows

[rechmbrs]

I find in trying to cause a line change in entering text into Scriptui-edittext  (Photoshop) that ctrl-enter does not work.  Nothing else I've tried works either.  Scriptui actually executes the OK button instead.

Help please.

Try ctrl/j

It works only with own User Interference windows and not in CC 2018 but in CS6 EXTENDED. After I press 'Ctrl j' while I'm in a cell it clears its content, but doesn't replace by any text that I udnerstaood it should. Can someone please explain it more?

Thanks a lot.  Works like a charm on PC within edittext box.  Does not show as line change in Alert display of text in JSX.

Does CMD/J work likewise on the MAC?

Do I have to convert output string somehow?

Sorry, I only have a Windows machine so do not know about Macs.

Thanks.

On MAC, maybe someone will test for us.

Something with using CTRL-J is that text within Edittext is formatted with line breaks, the text (string) from an Alert is not.   BUT if I pass the text (string) onward so it is print in HTML it doesn't show breaks but if I enclose it in <pre></pre> in HTML it works fine.  I don't understand this but it works.

I noticed this change also with some recent update to PS. With my UI's rather than ctrl-enter, just enter works.

Neither Enter nor CTRL-Enter work with Edittext.
