Line break breaks everything about steno-jig HOT 2 OPEN

Yeah...I'm afraid there's no quick fix for that. I made the mistake of using a contenteditable div for the input, and they're generally just horrible to work with. So it doesn't get newlines at all: when you enter a newline the browser makes each line a separate div, and getting the textContent of the input sees the two words before and after the newline concatenated together with no whitespace in between. And for some reason it also seems to confuse the saveSelection/restoreSelection code which handles the cursor position. Which is not my code (I just grabbed it from a Stack Overflow answer) so I have no idea what's going on there.

So it really needs a rewrite to use a hidden textarea and copy the contents to the visible "input" element for display. Before I lost interest about a year ago, I started doing that on the new-display branch: you could try using that instead and see if it works for you?

Honestly, steno-jig is mostly unmaintained at this point: it has been 11 months since I did any real work on it, and nearly two years since I came to the conclusion that the core open steno community is never going to provide what I'm interested in (a theory and a path into steno that is oriented toward being as consistent, easily memorizable, and quickly learnable as possible) and quit practicing steno. I've been trying to keep doing the easy fixes and incorporating pull requests because I know a bunch of people have gotten good use out of it. But this one is probably a WONTFIX. Sorry...

I see. That's a pity you were disappointed by the open steno community.
Anyhow, thanks for still doing the easy fixes and pulls!
Cheers,
