I saw this article to lifehacker on Digg as well as, well, lifehacker. All this does is link to an article on the Google Maps Help Group (here) site that tells you what to do, which is rather straight forward.
- Type about:config into your address bar on Firefox 2. (I don’t know if this will work on earlier versions or not.)
- In the Filter line, type singleline. It should automatically list one option in the area below named editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines.
- Double click anywhere on that item and a dialog box will pop-up. Change the value to 2.
Simple enough, right? Well, a user on Digg, Otto, mentioned that there are other options for this setting in the comments for the article.
0: Paste content intact (include newlines). This is the default for the Linux version.
1: Paste the content only up to (but not including) the first newline. This is the default in all other versions.
2: Replace each newline with a space
3: Remove all newlines from content
4: Substitute commas for newlines in text box
I’m sure he pulled this from some other location, but he didn’t cite, and if I really wanted to know, I’m sure I could find out. As tribute, here is Otto’s homepage.
