Although I do agree, I do understand why it is done this way.

I made a post about it before here - [Rich Text Editor Press "Enter" get two carriage returns - #3 by Daeraxa](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/rich-text-editor-press-enter-get-two-carriage-returns/12343/3) - explaining what I believe to be the rationale behind it but I do also agree that it isn't the 'normal' behaviour one would expect when migrating from a non-markdown system.

I agree it would be nice to have the option and I think there are quite a few people who share this sentiment so if somebody could make a proper justification for it and create PR for then there is a chance it could be considered.

It sounds like it is simply this option within TinyMCE config [TinyMCE | forced\_root\_block](https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-3x/reference/Configuration3x/Configuration3x@forced_root_block/)

```auto
tinyMCE.init({
    ...
    forced_root_blocks: false
});

```
