Try this:
$('div[contenteditable]').keydown(function(e) {
// trap the return key being pressed
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
// insert 2 br tags (if only one br tag is inserted the cursor won't go to the next line)
document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, '<br/>');
// prevent the default behaviour of return key pressed
return false;
}
});
