> It's also called a Soft Return.  If you are typing out text in Pages, the return key starts a new paragraph.  But typing shift-return starts a new line without starting a new paragraph.  The classic case is typing a postal address; you want to start new lines without creating new paragraphs.

If you cannot describe what that soft return causes to be sent to
