256867 - Allow <p> tags to be easily inserted into document

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 92686

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[John Cassidy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

There should be a preference setting which allows <p> tags to be easily inserted
into documents, perhaps through some key combination. I *rarely* use <br/> tags
and this habit of littering pages with break tags--which have a real affect on
the look--is the main thing that keeps me from considering Composer as a useful
editor. I keep downloading Composer, thinking that maybe this time it will be a
really useful WYSIWYG HTML editor. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up the browser
2. Hit enter

Actual Results:  
I get a break tag instead of a useful tag and where subsequent returns used to
replace the br with the p tag, more returns just end up littering my documents
with break tags. 

Expected Results:  
Perhaps it should have acted like Word (gag) which inserts a paragraph break on
Enter, and a line-break on Shift+Enter. And perhaps if Composer still wants to
support the users who don't care if they generate pages with no real style, or
people who like to create more structured documents (like me) could toggle the
the key combinations in preferences.
