One of the main issues with Z10 typing or keyboard that has bothered me a lot has been not being able to start a new line in BBM or SMS massaging. In older BB handsets, you could use (shift+enter) to start a new line but in Z10 that doesn't work and neither does just pressing enter as it'll annoyingly just send the message. However, you could just keep pressing space bar till your get to the new line which is in itself a pain in the ****!
Anyway, I found a way to get around this problem and is quite functional and you need to get used to it too. I use the "Word Substitution" feature in Z10 to solve this issue by creating a shortcut which you can perform by doing the following:
1. Open 'Settings'.
2. In 'System Settings', open 'Language and Input' setting.
3. In 'Language and Input' menu, under 'Text Input', tab on the 'Automated Assistance' option.
4. In 'Automated Assistance' menu, tab on 'Word Substitution' option.
5. In 'Word Substitution' feature and assuming that you have turned 'On' the feature, tab on 'Add Shortcut' in the bottom of the screen.
6. In 'Shortcut' setting, under 'Typing' and in the 'Original Word' box type '**' and in the 'New Word or Phrase' box keep pressing the 'space' bar until the cursor is absolutely at the end next to the 'X' (the delete mark) and then hit 'save' and exit.
7. To test it, open either a BBM or an SMS chat. In the chat, try typing a word in the first line, peas the 'space' bar once and type ** and then press the 'space' again to get to the next line.
Now, you can use one asterisk (*) symbol for the substitution but that could disable you from using the asterisk symbol altogether and hence I typed it twice. Moreover, for your convenience you can choose any other symbol than the asterisk (*). Lastly, remember to press the 'space' bar after the word or punctuation or symbol such as dot (.) you would like to end the line with as the predictive testing will place the asterisk (*) symbol attached to the word or the punctuation which will not be substituted.
Hope this helps you guys! Happy BBING! :D
