Emacs Minibuffer

Emacs

Not much to say here except that using hitting enter in the minibuffer is usually a “go” command, so it’s hard to insert the character as a literal newline. But…

You can insert things like newlines, TABs, etc by using the C-q key sequence, followed by the character (C-j for newline for example). Very useful if you’re using the minibuffer to do a search and replace and you want to include a newline or TAB for example.
