    THIS ONLY WORKS FOR 10.2

    So I downloaded the leaked 10.2 and realized that there is still no way to enter a carriage return in BBM or SMS, that was one feature I was praying would be fixed. The other was being able to enter a carriage return in word substitution and thankfully that was fixed. So I figured how to use word substitution to solve the BBM and SMS carriage return problem. Here is how you can do it....

    1. go in setting
    2. Choose Language and Input
    3. Choose Prediction and Correction
    4. Choose Word Substitution
    5. Press the +Add Shortcut at the bottom
    6. under Typing put nm
    7. under new word or phrase press the carriage return on the keyboard
    8. Press Save at top right hand corner
    9. Exit out of setting


    Now anytime you want a carriage return type nm


    This will work untill Blackberry figures a way to add a carriage return

    Tap shift then tap enter
    Or in some versions
    Hold shift and press enter

    And for text messages, specifically,

    I thought that if you press shift backspace or shift enter or shift send, you will get a new line. Don't want to figure out which one it is, just try. Good luck.

    Holding shift + tapping enter does this in SMS/MMS/BBM/etc on 10.1 (I know--would do it on my Z10)
    Also, on Q10 (only on 10.2, so can't verify if this also holds true on 10.1), tapping shift and tapping enter also does this.

    New line on 10.1 is shift enter. The enter graphic doesn't change though, you just have to believe.

    The ability to have carriage returns in SMS has in fact been fixed in 10.2.

    The post after yours tells you where the setting is. It's not enabled by default. But, when set properly, you get a separate "send" button at the top right corner of the screen, and the return key is a real return key.

    I have another little work around.
    I'm still on 10.1 so I don't know if it still works in 10.2 but if long press the caps lock key, it stays locked on.
    Then tap the send button and voil� you'll be on a new line.
    Just figured that out by accident now, not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but this way you don't have to add another shortcuts or anything yourself

    Previously 10.1, I just tap shift + send, it will enter new line. But after upgrade to 10.2 official, it gone.

    Now, need to long press shift + send, then new line appears.

    On OS 10.2.1.1925 you can hold shift key with one finger and send/enter with the the other finger to produce the enter/carriage return (multi touch just like when you press ctrl+alt+del on computer). this work both for sms and bbm.

    Lol, sometimes the simplest actions is the best way. Well done as I had figured this out for myself.
