The funny thing is that recently there was a feature request for <Return> acting like the current <Ctrl-Return>, and, of course, it was absolutely certain that this is the only sensible choice. > However, it would be > simple to configure this if separate LFUNs could be specificed for keys > depending on whether one is currently in math mode or not.

You can have that with <Esc> already. Andre'
