The <C-Enter> shortcut is used in lots of applications I use every day
(KMail to send an e-mail, Pan to post an article, Licq and Gaim to send
messages) and I've come to expect it to mean "Send" in that type of
program. If people want to patch their sources, that's groovy, but if
this is ever added I hope it's an option that's off by default -- I know
I'd get confused and annoyed if <Enter> sent a message!
I'm sure it could make some people happy, though, who send rapid-fire
one-liners. :)
