blockSeperator in getTextBetween, will return double new line characters when call editor.getText()

[Matrixbirds]

What’s the bug you are facing?

I'd like to custom shortcut key with 'Enter'. When keypress Enter, it should splitBlock instead of using hardBreak to append
in the current element:

.

Which browser was this experienced in? Are any special extensions installed?

Chromium 107.0.5304.87 (Official Build) (arm64)
Offical Github repo. commit id: bbf0803

Node version:
LTS
macOS
My setup scripts

npm install
npm run start

How can we reproduce the bug on our side?

Step 1. Typing any character as below.

// typing in content editor
abcdefg

Step 2. RunsplitBlock by editor instance, then <p> tag in will be forked.

editor.splitBlock({keepMarks: false}).focus().scrollIntoView().run();

Step 3. Keep typing any characters like this.

// typing in content editor
abcdefg
hijkl

Step 4. Check the content editor html structure.

<p>abcedfg</p>
<p>hijkl</p>

It looks like two paragraph element and it did correct when call editor.getJSON() then return value only contain two paragraph items.
But the editor.getText() will return abcedfg\n\nhijkl.

I'm digging in the implementation of getText. I find there is the code will serialize textNodes and it will add blockSeparator = \n\n. I don't know the blockSeparator works for what. But If we can modify assign as \n. Maybe it works for me.

Can you provide a CodeSandbox?

No response

What did you expect to happen?

The getText method should return single newline character whenever item has been splitBlock.
So In this case: editor.getText should return return abcedfg\nhijkl.

Anything to add? (optional)

i have the same confusion, why？

// typing in content editor
abcdefg
hijkl
// break 1
// break 2
// break 3

when editor.getText() it will return abcedfg\n\nhijkl\n\n
what i want is abcedfg\nhijkl\n\n\n

Same for me.

@Matrixbirds @HZZformGD @J-Yaleen @tecoad you can use editor.getText({ blockSeparator: '\n' }); to override default blockSeparator.

I've submitted #5055 PR that tweaks getTextBetween to prepend blockSeparator to block node even if block node doesn't have any children (it means empty paragraphs won't be ignored like in @HZZformGD's comment).

@Matrixbirds @HZZformGD @J-Yaleen @tecoad you can use editor.getText({ blockSeparator: '\n' }); to override default blockSeparator.

It works for me! Thank you!
