Well, I would find it inconsistent if "in the same application" (read, 
kopete), sometimes I have to use Enter to send some text to a friend and 
some other times I have to use Ctrl-Enter when talking with another one 
("and this application says it's because my friends are using different 
protoc...somethings" )

That's said by the person who claimed that users won't use the delete key 
(or was it "backspace"?) because they don't know what it does or don't 
know it exists :-) And do you think they'll find Ctrl-Return? ;-)
