Answer 1

I always use Ctrl + H (Replace), enable the Regular Expression match (Alt + R) and then execute a replace all on " " to "\n".

Replacing with "\n" just inserts the "\n" characters. Am I missing something? – Airhead

@Airhead You need to enable the Regular Expressions match (Alt + R or the top-left .* button). – Detumescence

Cool, that worked flawlessly. I used it to separate a comma delimited list into lines for pasting into excel. Search and replace ", " with \n. – Cockspur

Answer 2

for Mac, select the first space between "this" and "is" then press command+d to select the same pattern in the file, then press enter~

Also good and easy solution for Windows using ctrl+d instead of command+d. – Georgeanngeorgeanna

for Mac, ⌃ + ⌘ + G Select all occurrences of current selection ,then enter – Oho
