Kind of like a keyboard equivalent of a double, triple click, with some visual way of suggesting what level "upwards" in the DOM the return will create the next element (e.g a "box insertion caret" like for drag-drop operations): * a single enter in a list adds a paragraph or <br> within the current element. It does not create a new list or table entry. * double-enter, creates a new <li> <tr> etc (depending on if you're in a table, list etc) within the current table/list. * triple-enter, creates a new <li> <tr> <p> or <br> as the next element outside of the current list/table etc. (if in a nested table/list, it'll correctly add the next element) ... -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: I got to deal with all these fun issues back in ~1995 when i designed WWWeasel (reviewed at an early WWW conf here<http://nielsmayer.com/L27933-1529TMP.pdf> ) http://nielsmayer.com/wwweasel/node26.html<http://nielsmayer.com/wwwease… http://nielsmayer.com/wwweasel/node27.html It is very helpful for the user to be able to see what's going on "structurally" at the same time as you're editing in WYSIWYG.... If you can graphically depict where in the DOM structure the "return" is pointing, at what level of scope, then it's a lot less confusing to the user.
