Description

Add an action to insert a non-indented newline

Summary:
Currently pressing Enter to insert a new line, KTextEditor will,
in most cases, indent the new line with the same indentation as
the previous line, which makes sense when writing code. But there
is a viable use case where a user may want to insert a new line to
separate blocks of code that have different context/functionality
inside a function, in that case that line should be non-indented,
having trailing spaces on an empty line isn't good, IMHO.

The new action can be triggered with Ctrl+Enter. And the current
default behaviour is preserved.

BUG: 314395
FIXED-IN: 5.61.0

Test Plan:

  • Open a file with some C++ code, put the cursor at the end of an indented line, and press Enter to insert a new line
  • Note that the new line is indented
  • Repeat the first step, but press Ctrl+Enter; the newly inserted line has no indentation
