I know this was a big topic of discussion many months ago and don't know if I just haven't been paying attention or if this is a new feature...

I would re-boot my Mac into Windows but would rather get confirmation that:

1 - This is not something that I'm just late to the party on...
2 - Others can reproduce...

For anybody that can't view the image, it shows a Fantasy Grounds story element with:

===== start of a text box=====
To get multiple paragraphs in a text box in Fantasy grounds..

All you need to do is hold down the keys:
SHIFT-COMMAND
then hit the key:
ENTER

Note that these keys are generally equivalent on a Mac keyboard:

COMMAND = APPLE KEY = "Funny Squiggle"

I suspect the same will work on Windows using:
SHIFT-WINDOWS KEY
and
ENTER or RETURN
===== end of a text box=====

Above was done on:
MacOS 10.15.7
Fantasy Grounds Unity 4.0.10
Zero Extensions

NOTE: It does also seem to work with my normal way-to-many-extensions (tm).

I should also note that I am actually doing this on an external Windows USB keyboard. I "assume" the Windows key on this external keyboard actually maps to the Apple Key, but could be wrong...

The key combination is just Shift + Enter; and I just tested in the most recent version on Windows.

You are indeed correct. I use several different programs, some of which require the SHIFT+<some other key> and ENTER to get the line-feed thing to work. I was mindlessly making an edit doing what the other program required and happened upon this feature.

Glad to see it's intended to work this way.
