Actually, it was option-return in Codewarrior and I think BBEdit, where you get a soft return. I'm pretty sure that the Applescript editor respects this as well, at least it used to (Classic OS). You press the key sequence and you get the visual appearance of a return, but the string remains unchanged.
Thanks, I should have considered the \

In the past, one could simply hit option-enter, but the IDE in XCode doesn't respect that. How does one go about that? I have a really long string literal that I'd like break into smaller chunks.

The C language requires that you put a “\” at the end of each line if a string literal spans multiple lines:
const char *foo = “this is a long \
string literal”;


Or a better way is to take advantage of the fact that the parser combines multiple adjacent string literals into one; this way you do n’t have to worry about the indentation characters ending up in the string:
const char *foo = “this is a log ”
“string literal”;


I’m not sure what option-Enter has to do with this; did I misunderst and the question?
