| 6.2. Enter versus Return

| Prior to version 2.2, Mutt used a default ncurses mode (“nl()”). This
| mode maps keyboard input of either <Enter> or <Return> to the same
| value, which Mutt interpreted as <Return> internally.
|
| However, starting in version 2.2, this mode is turned off, allowing
| <Return> and <Enter> to be mapped separately, if desired. The default
| keyboard mappings set both, but you can override this or create new
| bindings with one or the other (or both).
|
| Note that in terminal application, such as Mutt, <Enter> is the same as
| “\n” and ^J; while <Return> is the same as “\r” and ^M.
