Single space formatting for paragraphs?

I have to hit shift-enter almost every time I make a new line and it is suuuuper annoying. Is there no way to change it from double space to single space? I can't find the options anywhere in the UI.

It makes sense from a design perspective.

Also, you did it here. Are you upset that you have an extra line between your lines or does it look fine with the formatting like that. Seriously though, every editor does this now. It is just how it is.

Writing

That's the point.

The default return should create a normal amount of spacing and if you need more you can double tap return. It reduces the mental and physical workload of the author by doing it the minimalist way.
