How to Add a Line Break in a LinkedIn Message

Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert a line break in a LinkedIn message using Shift + Enter.

Quick summary

Adding a line break in a LinkedIn message is done by pressing Shift + Enter, which moves the cursor to a new line without sending the message. This simple keyboard shortcut lets you format professional messages with clear paragraph spacing directly in the LinkedIn chat box.


Steps

  1. Open a chat box with someone from your current LinkedIn connections.
  2. Go to your message and place the cursor where you want to insert a line break.
  3. Press Shift + Enter on your keyboard to insert the line break.
  4. Your line break has been successfully inserted into your LinkedIn message.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to add a line break in a LinkedIn message helps professionals format their outreach and networking messages for clarity and readability. Without this keyboard shortcut, pressing Enter sends the message immediately, making it difficult to structure multi-paragraph content. The Shift + Enter shortcut is essential for anyone sending cold outreach, follow-ups, or detailed connection requests on LinkedIn. Mastering this simple formatting trick improves communication quality and ensures messages look polished before they are sent.
