I think that's reasonable. I've run into at least one other MMA user that consistently uses the Mac enter key to evaluate expressions in MMA, and wishes Sage would do the same. How many people here press enter (on the mac keyboard, say) to get a new line? If not many do or no one does, I think it'd be great to change the notebook so that enter evaluated the cell.
