You can customize the default behavior of the Enter and/or Tab key for a given element style under Format > Element Styles > Modify Element Style.

For instance, if you want pressing Enter after a Dialogue element to always go to a new Character element, you can change the Enter key setting for the Dialogue element style to "Character".

You can do the same thing for the Tab key, noting that there are different behaviors for whether you press Tab at the start of the current line (Tab key before) or at the end of the line, after any existing text (Tab key after).
