Why does hitting the enter key in Visual Editor add <p> instead of <br>?

What I want sometimes is a new line that starts immediately after the previous line. Unfortunately, the visual editor automatically wraps my new line in a <p> tag when all I really want is a <br> tag so that there is no space between the two lines.

How can I solve this without specifically changing my code in the HTML tab?

  • I'm not really sure why you think that would work. I gave it a shot and all it did was put extra space after each paragraph. This is not what I want. What I want is to have no space after a line break.

  • Haha, there it is. Well, almost. CTRL + Enter didn't work for me. I gave Shift + Enter a try and that did the trick!
