Default Interchange line break and paragraph break shortcut keys

Hello.

How can I interchange the key shortcuts for inserting a line break with the paragraph break one?

They are currently inserted by pressing Shift+Enter and Enter respectively. I would like to reverse that assignation.

I would like to get a new paragraph break when pressing Shift+Enter, and a new line break when pressing Enter.

The reason is because is much more common to insert new line paragraphs and it's more comfortable to use a single key.

How can I do it?
I've tried in Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts -> but I Can't find the related functions there.

This is not a good idea. A line break does not create a new paragraph. It breaks the line within the same paragraph, and far from being common, it has relatively limited use.

The Enter key creates a new paragraph and if the spacing between paragraphs is not to your taste, you should address that with the use of styles.

Yes, but at the end it's not the same. Word recognizes it as a different paragraph, at this affects things such as justification and the structure.
Most of the time I'm not interested in having a new paragraph but just a new line.
Anyway, if I need a new paragraph I can use Shift+Enter.
