Double enter should break out captions and lists (and similar) and onto a newline

[jasmussen]

From Ella:

break out of the caption if the line is empty (so double enter to break out). This seems in line with WP's current block quote behaviour, where you break out the quote if you hit enter in the last paragraph and it is empty.

This should apply captions and list blocks, and probably other similar ones.

I think number one seems expected.

3rd option: break out of the caption if the line is empty (so double enter to break out). This seems in line with WP's current block quote behaviour, where you break out the quote if you hit enter in the last paragraph and it is empty.

Option 2 question: what happens if you're not at the end?

I like that. Also handily provides an answer to your solid followup option 2 question.

That being said, if we did go with option 2, pressing enter mid-sentence would, I suppose, split the stuff after the caret into a new paragraph.

Which leads to option 4: don't do anything when you press enter. No new lines, no nothing. You'd have to use the arrow keys to exit the paragraph.

1. You make a linebreak inside the caption (or paragraph break or whatever)

+1 — this is how I'd expect it to work.

+1 to this as well :)

I am not sure about breaking out of the caption with enter.

I am not sure about breaking out of the caption with enter.

Just to be clear, it's enter enter — that is, enter on an empty line. Would you prefer the way to break out of a caption would be tab or arrow keys?
