+## [`onEnterRules`](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/language-configuration-guide#on-enter-rules)
+
+This field specifies a list of rules which determine how lines should be indented when the user presses <kbd>Enter</kbd>. When the text in a line before the cursor is matched by the regex specified in a rule's `beforeText`, that rule's `action` is applied on <kbd>Enter</kbd>.
+
+### Focus blocks
+
+```json
+{
+    "beforeText" : "^\\s*(·|\\.)\\s.*$",
+    "action" : { "indent" : "indent" }
+}
+```
+
+This rule ensures that hitting enter after starting a focus block during a tactic sequence produces a line within that focus block. I.e.,
+
+```
+  constructor
+  · intro x| <-- hit enter here
+    | <-- cursor ends up here
+```
