In most other application, MSWord, Dreamweaver, Indesign... [shift] + [enter] creates a Line Break (forced, manual).
In Photoshop however, it does nothing.
This is mostly only an issue when you are justifying text.
When you want to move the last word or so in a line down to the start of the next line but still have the block of text 'Justified' ... in photoshop it is troublesome.
(^n = line break, for demonstration purposes, photoshop does not display hidden characters that i know of, and in indesign at least, a forced line break is represented by a small sideways, backwards L.)
Currently the only workaround i know is to keep hitting the space bar until the word goes to the next line (which sickens me every time I do it)
--or--
Select all except the last line and apply "Justify all" to it.
Yeah, you know that's what ENTER/RETURN/↵ is for right? Shift+enter forces a line-break in the same paragraph with the same formatting, hence it is only necessary in applications like the ones you are referring to. In Photoshop though, you can manually and easily change the line-height in the "characters" properties. Photoshop is an advanced WYSIWYG editor, hence, advanced options. You are the editor and you determine the outcome down to the slightest detail.
