I just checked out the Google Docs spreadsheet behavior. I assume that it mimics the interfaces of other popular spreadsheet programs, though I don't know that for sure. * <enter> and <shift><enter> both save and exit the cell. * <control><enter> and <cmd><enter> both insert a newline. * <esc> cancels the change and exists the cell. I haven't seen anyone object to Matthieu's suggested behaviors for <enter> and <esc>, which are consistent with both behavior and general OS gui conventions, so I think we may have achieved consensus there. What's left is the basically irrelevant issue of how to insert a newline that's going to be turned into a space later anyway. My inclination is to supply a patch which simply does not support the insertion of newlines. If that results in user confusion and support inquiries, a binding for <modifier><return> can be added later.
