Can terminals detect or ?

by

Some terminals send <NL> when <C-Enter> is pressed. This is equivalent to sending <C-J>.

To find out what your terminal does with <Shift-Enter>, <Ctrl-Enter> and <Enter>, go to your terminal, type <Ctrl-V> (similar to sykora’s suggestion for vim), and type in the sequence you’re interested in.

Using gnome-terminal, I get the following:

  <Enter> : ^M
<S-Enter> : ^M
<C-Enter> : <NL>

Looking at man ascii indicates that ^M gives the <CR> sequence.

The answer is that it depends on the terminal, and there’s an easy way to check.
