Many other programs have a facility to remap keys. If you add a framework that reads input, looks up what that input does and then acts upon it, any keys can be remapped to anything. Layers of indirection are the best

To a lot of people it will be pointless. But as someone who was using ICQ, which uses ctrl-enter, for 3 years before I started using MSN through Trillian and Gaim (also configured to use ctrl-enter) for another year or so, I've become somewhat set in my ways. Having the option to have enter, or ctrl-enter, or whatever send the message means everyone gets the configuration they want
