With the newest update to Pages, the Shift+Return shortcut to inserting a soft return is no longer working. I've used PAGES since the beginning, it appears to be a software bug. Any help???
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.6
The Pages documentation still shows shift + enter but in reality, Apple has tinkered with Pages v13.2 and now the soft return is ctrl+shift+enter on a U.S., ABC-Extended, or U.S. International keyboard input type.

You have a very engaging writing style! I hope you do this for a living!
How do I get this wonderful, mythical, elusive Pages upgrade? My Pages on MacOS Venture says v13.2 and I can't seem to find anyway to upgrade.
App Store shows v14 came out 7 hours ago.
Am I not worthy?
Thank you. This absolutely works. And is incredibly annoying. Hope they put it back to how every other program works soon!
It's got to be a mistake as the Help within Pages still shows a soft return as Shift + Return.
Apple brain-fart right there!! So frustrating 😩🤯
Thank you for the updated shortcut, it absolutely works! I couldn't believe the soft return was changed.
Thanks! Glad to find out it's actually only two keys I need to press.
I saw on a very early post that the "Shift" needed pressed as well. I thought that was a little too many buttons!
It is incredibly annoying. Hope they put it back in asap!
It is so dumb that they've done this.
This is just plain silly. Put it back the way it was. Sheesh.
Wow, this is now January, 4 months past the OP, I just updated my Pages, and now I also can't use shift-return anymore!!!!!!!!!! I've used shift-return everywhere for 30 years! WTF is Apple doing?!@
"Shift-return" was a super easy one hand gesture. "Control-return" is a two hand gesture, it's pure nonsense to make simple actions more difficult. Apple needs to fire whoever did this.
On Canadian keyboard too, we now have to use a TWO HAND action rather than a ONE HAND action. This is insane!
It's been FIVE MONTHS. How is this still an issue? Apple's lack of attention to Pages / Keynote / Numbers is infuriating.
