So when this standard doesn't seem to have any consistent application, where is the harm in offering both options (Or all n options, if you let the user define their own keys)?
If the ability is needed to invoke something automaticly AND to write multiple lines, then Enter is ALWAYS used for invoking the action and Ctrl-Enter for the next line, not vice versa. Ctrl-Enter is NEVER used to invoke something! This is very consistent in all Windows applications...
PS: and on the "doom"-keys... even for righthanded people (keyboard on left hand, mouse on the right) the arrow keys are number 1 choice! There is nothing ackward about it... Keys like "AWSD" in games are made because of the possebility of playing with two people at the same keyboard (player 1 uses the arrow keys, and player 2 the laternative keys (eg awsd"))

And that is just the reason why things are standarized and Patchou wont change this...
