Try Shift + Ctrl + J
sometimes Ctrl-J works, for some you may need to use the Shift key also. It worked with the Shift key for me; didn't try just Ctrl-J, I found the (better) Ctrl + Shift + J answer elsewhere.
^10 should also work.
If neither of those work, you can always try Alt+0010 on the numeric keypad (note that is four digits, not three).
- If Ctrl + J does not work, press the Alt key, and type 0010 on the number keypad (do not use the numbers above the letters)
^13 or Alt-0013 will work for the Carriage Return ASCII 13 character.
