Just to follow up on this. The ^M = Enter issue is a limitation (or feature) of the tty and not being able to bind combinations with Shift is a limitation of ncurses. Fixes: unlikely.

I second this issue. I am trying to create a set of keybindings to replicate common GUI app hotkeys (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Z for redo) and it's impossible without shift.

Also, to elaborate on the original issue; trying to bind ^M also (erroneously?) binds the enter key to the same function.

Edit: apologies for the excessive mails I sent out - I didn't realise experimenting with the voting feature would send notifications until I had already sent a few.

Similarly, I am unable to rebind ctrl+m.

It would be really nice if we could use shift as a modifier for creating key bindings, like bind ^i vs ^I or some other sort of syntax so that the shift key can be defined as part of a binding. I also noticed some weird behavior binding ^i as it seems to rebind tab as well. It'd be nice if you could bind keys to jump to specific menus, for instance I'd like to rebind ctrl+r to automatically open the file browser if possible, which is normally ctrl+r followed by ctrl+t.
