New Line indicator

[Aaron Martin]

Affinity publisher deeply needs this indicator when selecting text. I’ve had so many messed up text styles while moving around texts just because of not being able to see if i have selected a sentence with a new line function at the end of it.

Menu Text, Show Special Characters?

No. The blue “enter” icon at the end of the line, which shows that id youre selecting, copying and pasting the selected portion of the text will include the “new line” 

so if you select a line all the way to the end of the line (which will include s blue “new line” indicator) you are also selecting the “new line” function which if thats not intended to be selected, you can drag back the selection so it doesn’t include the blue “new line” indicator.

If the selected block of text contains "enter", then of course this enter (new line) is also copied. That goes without saying. Why should it be otherwise?
Just don't select this enter, and the copied text won't contain it.

So what is it you need? You can see that you have the paragraph break or line break selected, and drag the selection back to not include it. Isn't that want you asked for?

[Aaron Martin]

Yes. But affinity does not have the paragraph indicator. And the problem is when i assign usually make documents in publisher i start by making varieties of text styles which i’ll be using during the making of the document and quite often i have to replace titles or sometimes add translations in different text styles and later move around the texts from one paragraph to another. The problem i encounter during this process is when i start moving texts around rapidly, the lack of “new paragraph” indicator makes me to change the whole paragraph’s text style after pasting just a few words to add in the middle or start of the paragraph.

the problem is there is no indicator (as previewed in screenshot). 

 

since i see yours is showing the indicator, than im assuming (correct me if im wrong) this is already implemented and should be enabled in settings. is there any way i can enable it? 

thank you very much

As @Pšenda wrote in reply to your original post:

When you toggle special characters on, you should see a pilcrow for each paragraph break and an angled arrow for each line break (as well as other indicators such as mid dots for space characters).

As stated in the first answer.

I did not understand your negative response to this instruction.

No.

So I assume that you have tried the display of these characters and that for some reason it does not suit you.

Yes, it does, if you enable Text > Show Special Characters, as suggested by others here.
