how to jump to a newline in StarUML

Question

I have been using StarUML, and I'm creating an activity diagram but I want to add a new line inside an action node, How would I do that?

Without knowing that tool try the usual suspects: Ctrl, Shift and Alt with return. Also try copy/paste from somewhere. — qwerty_so, Feb 27 '18 at 20:40

You can't create a new line with Return but you can format the Node.

CTRL+Shift+W or Format->Word Wrap in the ContextMenu

If the Action-Node is to small the text after a space will wrap into the next line.

Is there a way to make this behavior default for all new nodes? – Calamity May 19 '22 at 12:26

Click the node you want to apply a new line, then press CTRL+SHIFT+W.

Now this isn't exactly adding a new line but makes the node flexible so you can decide it's size.
