You might want to avoid using enter for this. I use enter as a 'redraw my
current state' no-op, for when my connection starts lagging or if the
terminal emulation goes ape - I don't know if others also do this, but
having (no real input) actually change the state of your connection seems
a bit counter-intuitive to me. Systems that close connection if you hit
enter at the login screen bug me for this reason.
