How to Go Down a Line in Discord (Desktop)

You can create a new line in Discord via the following steps:

1. Open the Discord app on a desktop
   
   
   
2. Navigate to the Discord chat and type a message
3. Hold the Shift Key and press Enter to move to a new line
   
   
   
4. Type more text in the new line
5. Hit Enter alone to send the entire message

This method also works when you want to send several messages. You can break them up into paragraphs by pressing the Shift+Enter twice.

The first one creates a space. The next takes you to a new line where you can continue your message.

Note: the above steps work for both Mac and Windows users.

How to Go Down One Line in a Code Block

Discord code blocks are essential in formatting texts. Use them for plain or colored texts and

Plain Text

Here are how to create plain texts using code blocks:

1. Input three backticks (`)
2. Type the first line of text.
3. Hit Enter to move to the next line
4. Type your remaining message
5. Hit Enter to go to another line and add three more backticks
6. Press Enter key to send a message

Example:

```Join this server to connect with friends.
Thanks for joining our community.
```

The above steps work for sending single or multiple lines of text.

Colored Text

Members use code blocks to add colors to texts, creating attractive messages.

Follow these steps to do so:

1. Insert three backticks and a syntax highlighting language (e.g., Json, Diff, Fix, Ini, and Bash)
2. Press Shift+Enter to move the text cursor to a new line on Discord
3. Type your text message (you might add symbols before and after your text. This depends on the code language in use)
4. Hit Shift+Enter again to move to another line
5. Add three more backticks
6. Hit Enter to send a message to the text channel

Example:

```Ini

[Hello, how are you?]

```

Note: using the Spacebar instead of Shift+Enter will not create colored texts.

How to Go Down One Line in Discord (Mobile)

The Discord mobile app is available on Android and iOS devices. Follow these steps to make a line break on Discord mobile:

1. Launch the Discord mobile app
2. Write a message in the chat section
3. Press the Return Key to move to the next line
   
   
4. Tap the Send button to deliver your message to other members

Alternatively, you add line breaks in your message via other text editors. Copy the message and paste it on Discord. This will leave the line break intact, and you can share the message.

How to Go Down a Discord Chat

Discord text channels often get bumped up with many messages, and not all users want to read them.

So, you may want to jump to the latest message. Here's how to do it: Tap on the End Key OR use Ctrl+End to view the newest message.

Tapping the Esc Key removes the highlight on the latest message, taking you directly to the chat box.

Use Cozzy and Compact Mode

Keep many lines of text in a single message using the Cozzy mode. Leave no space, write your message, and hit Enter to send it. With this, your message appears like a large block of text.

Use the compact mode to deliver break texts. However, this attached your user name to each short text you send.

Why go down a line in Discord

Placing all your messages in one big block makes it challenging to read. Going down a line, space out text and make points easy to read. You may wonder, "why not break the entire information into several messages?"

This scatters your points, making it challenging to to follow the intended meaning of your message easily.
