Quick summary
In ChatGPT, pressing Enter sends your message immediately — to insert a new line without sending, you use the Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut. This lets you format multi-line prompts, lists, and code blocks cleanly inside the chat input.
Steps
- Type your message in the ChatGPT chat box where you want to add a line break.
- Place your cursor at the exact position for the line break, then hold Shift and press Enter (or Return) to create a new line without sending.
- Continue formatting your prompt with multiple lines — ideal for lists, code snippets, or keeping longer messages organized.
