On the Mac, if you want to create a line break in the macOS Messages app by holding down the OPTION key and then hit RETURN to jump to a new line without sending the message.

I wondered for years, how that would work – always too lazy to look for a solution – now I finally wanted to migrate away from Facebook Messenger to something nicer as a communication channel with a very special friend (outside Germany and not using Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram) – and the above link (resp. text from 2014) got displayed as the 1st result – proper query, proper results 🤩 (“Star-Struck” AKA “Grinning Face with Star Eyes”)
BTW:
Users can tell the difference between a message sent via SMS and one sent over iMessage as the bubbles will appear either green (SMS) or blue (iMessage).

I know …, all this only drives me more and more into the Apple jail – but it is so intriguing.
