The input part of a cell is a multiline textarea, and enter is rarely the submit keystroke in a multiline input in other UI's. Usually enter creates a carriage return and there is a button to submit (e.g., see every web form, Google +, Facebook posts, etc.). Of course, Facebook *comments* on posts make enter submit and shift-enter a newline. > I guess we originally borrowed this behavior from > Mathematica, which is another program that has the same "backwards" > behavior that we do. We do this mainly because Mathematica does. In Salvus, the submit keyboard shortcut will be configurable, which is definitely the right choice.
