(Wow, that's fast!)
Sorry, I'm not set up for gdb right now.
It's also called a Soft Return. If you are typing out text in Pages, the return key starts a new paragraph. But typing shift-return starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. The classic case is typing a postal address; you want to start new lines without creating new paragraphs.
If you select a region that includes a soft return, Pages displays it as a little blue return arrow icon.
Checking...
The same thing happens with soft returns in Keynote.
TextEdit doesn't seem to do soft returns.
