Describe feature

Sometimes I habitually make the code block as the last line, but then I need to enter new text, but I can't add a blank line after the code block, a direct enter will only add a line of code block, I can only delete a few lines of the code block and then recreate the block, can I add a blank line for it directly like a table?

Additional Information

No response

Actually this appears to no longer be an issue. You can just slam (or press, or tap) the enter key three times to exit out of the code block.

Thanks, this is very useful

This is so counterintuitive, that I needed to find this issue, to find the solution.
Since exiting other things, like bullet list for example, you need only two enters, I don't think this solution is acceptable.

Please reopen.

I've run into this a couple times. It's not ideal, but a quick workaround is to insert a horizontal line and then remove it:

Because in a bullet list you typically don't have empty lines. In code block you do.

Please reopen.

This is a behavior of CKEditor and I want to avoid changing the behavior of it as much as possible.

I totally understand that. Nevertheless, if you need to google how to exit something, we are approaching vim-meme territory.

Maybe there is possibility to add some "tip"? Or always automatically add new line after code block, when it was inserted?

I totally agree with you. I have to google (and find nothing) and find within GitHub issues to get this answer.
