Description

The default key binding for that currently is meta-Return, but that toggles full screen on Windows and doesn't insert a new line on Windows.

I guess a simple solution would be to make the default key binding just ^Enter everywhere, or maybe just on Windows?

I am aware that I can solve this by some custom code in my startup file, but it would be nice if this worked out-of-the-box on Windows.
