[Feature request]: Insert blank space in Notes

Request: add a feature to insert blank space in the note, thereby shifting all content below that point further down. (Could be based on number of lines, just half a page, a full page, etc.)

Reason: When taking notes in the Notes app, sometimes I need to move a bunch of text down. (For example, I'm making an outline and need to insert a new "#3" and move existing #3-9 down the page.)

It's tedious to select all my notes and drag them down one grouping at a time.

Why not just hit the enter key above the insertion point? Everything below shifts down, then you can place your curser anywhere in the blank space and add your new text. As you type, everything below continues to shift down. Then you hit the enter key again to create a space above the next section.

Thank you for your reply! Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but that doesn't seem to work with hand-written notes. (I'm new to the Samsung Notes app, so I may be doing it wrong)

I had a bunch of hand-written notes, put the cursor above some text, switched to "text mode" (on-screen keyboard) and kept hitting enter. All that did was continue to index the cursor down one line at a time, but it didn't shift the hand-written notes. The cursor would just overlay with the notes

Oh, I did not realize that you were handwriting your notes.  It does not look like there's a way to shift handwritten text. Perhaps because it's an underlay.
