Companion textinput Carriage return/Line feed

[Guy_]

It seems the OS drops any CR, LF, CRLF characters on input

Is it possible to enter / detect carriage returns or line feeds in text entered in a companion setting textinput field, and if so how?

I know it's not a true solution but you could always ask the user to add a specific string of characters like "//" for a new line and parse the input to replace with "\n"

Or you could use separate inputs for each line.

Only if you can't come across a better solution.

Thanks @kozm0naut - am using "." for now but was hoping for a solution for pasting normal text.
