Weird, never noticed that finishing the input with Space works as well.
Anyway, the note about unbinding Ctrl-Shift-u in the preferences was
added because in older versions we accidently used Ctrl-Shift-u as
default for another keybinding. Maybe the note could be changed to
reflect that.
However, I don't get it to insert a line break even when using
Enter/Return to finish the Unicode input.
Enrico, I think the problem is that the manual says let go ctrl-shift before typing return, holding ctrl-shift and typing return inserts the Unicode point without the return but any character, including return, typed after releasing the ctrl-shift inserts the Unicode point and itself. I thought this was a feature :-D
