When writing in a text view, it would be useful to be able to enter new lines with scribble. Is there such a gesture? If not, I will submit a feedback request.
Is there a scribble gesture for new line/return?
How to insert a return in Pages:
Press and hold where you want to return to go. Two gray highlights will appear.
Once the gray highlights disappear, hit the undo button and returns will be inserted.

I need this feature too. It is getting really cumbersome to bring up the keyboard and press the return key every single time we have to write in a new line. you can start with the Apple Notes app and this feature then can expand to others as a common pencil functionality and gesture. I hope this would be available across both pencil 1 and 2
After Steve's death Apple was abbandoned!
Nean 2714, You are a lyer!
New line gesture needed! Also, why not add the new line functionality to the double tap on the pencil?
I put in a feature request for a scribble new line gesture, as many of you have. Hoping Apple implements this modest and essential feature.
With some experimentation I got hard line breaks using scribble in pages.
All you have to do is to start writing further down the page and hey presto a hard break is made before the text.
Simples 👍
Please do submit a gesture request/since this is so old I hope you did. I have submitted feedback about it. Return/new line is a mainstay of my note taking and writing
OMG, please add this feature - Pencil is practically useless for writing without the ability to do a new-line. #FAIL …because, as-is, it forces one to switch back and forth between writing and typing.
BTW, Even my 1998 Palm Pilot could do this basic scribble!
your solution is terrible. Sorry. A simplest one should be by crossing an empty space with a line and then you have a line break. So the first one, as it already is, make a space and the second (over the empty space) breaks the line. ;)
YES!, please add this feature. there are MANY situations where an app not expecting pen input can accept multiple lines. I would love to be able to use the apple pencil and scribble to enter text via scribble in these situations
for example - entering text in markdown (in obsidian) or replying to a slack message, [or even entering a post in a developer.apple.com forum!]
