Many outliners (and other apps, such as spreadsheets) do not split on Enter, but simply close the editor and switch to browse/select mode

Which apps do that? I just checked and OutlineEdit, Zavala and OmniOutliner use key commands to split at the cursor, and hitting Return simply creates a new sister-node in the outline.
My old 1980s-2000s outliner, Acta/DynoNotepad/Opal (it went through two owners and three names) offered the ability via key command to split to a ‘sister,’ ‘aunt’ or ‘daughter’ node. Sometime I really miss using that app.

Hybrid text/outliner apps, such as Notion, are a good examples

Hi, that’s a great question! In OutlineEdit (outlineedit.com), you can use the shortcut ctrl + Enter to split an item at the cursor position. It creates a new item on the same level as the source item, with the text content following the cursor position. The source item keeps all attachments and tags, while the newly added item only contains the text that was split off. Related to this, there are settings for keeping/removing white space and for the automatic splitting of pasted text into multiple items.

Thanks for the correction Paul. My brain misfired there.
