Using ctrl<enter> is  pain because of the key positioning. In medical notes we 
more often than not write short notes, rather than paragraphs, and hitting 
the enter key like in a plain text editor is the logical and quick thing to 
do eg.

C/0 headache, sore throat
O/E: tonsils pus +++
Rx:  penV tabs
Rv: if needed

in that control this ends up like this:

C/0 headache, sore throat

O/E: tonsils pus +++

Rx:  penV tabs

Rv: if needed

Which is a major pain when you save the html for re-presentation in (my case) 
a person's progress notes.

I wonder if the code of the underlying control could be modified to send a 
<br> instead of a <p>
