Since you said you are using Mathematica, and on your laptop there is
no ENTER key, only the RETURN key, and so you had to suffer and hit
SHIFT-RETURN each time to evaluate a cell (like with SAGE now), then
you could edit the Mathematica key binding file on your installation,
and configure another key to send SHIFT-RETURN, so you would only need
to press one key after that.

I just found about this file myself.

For example on how to use, Please see 
http://www.lamberta.org/blog/mathematica-keybindings/
or google the file name.

The file name is called keyEventTranslations.tr and I think this is as
of version 6 of Mathematica.

I think this solution is something that SAGE could adopt.

i.e. Have a keyEventTranslations.tr type file with SAGE installation,
and have it set to work as default as things act now. Then one could
edit this file to reconfigure key binding.  This way one would not
need to resort to outside scripts or buy programmable keyboards and
such.

ps. When I use my laptop, which also has no ENTER key, I never use the
laptop own keyboard, I always attach my standard USB keyboard to the
laptop and use that. It is much easier to use the large keyboard than
those tiny keyboards that come build-in with laptops and the USB
keyboard has the ENTER key as well, so I never noticed this problem
you mentioned.
