It didn’t work for me
Which application? This works in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and many other programs. It has a similar function in Microsoft Excel. It doesn’t work in Notepad or Microsoft Outlook. (It’s up to each application if they respect a shortcut or not.)
This brings up a good point about consistency — I wish keyboard shortcuts were always universal, but sadly they are not.
For MS-Word, version 11.5.0, the results of Ctrl+Down Arrow are inconsistent. I always have “Show paragraph marks” ON so I can see where a real paragraph ends. But in several cases that I can’t explain, the Ctrl+Down Arrow, sometimes skips many paragraphs down.
Are all Paragraph-marks created equal?
