Jed internally sets default keys using
"^M" for Return and you cannot change that unless you:
   - get the ^M binding F
   - unsetkey("^M")
   - setkey(F, Key_Return)
You should do this for every keymap.

see: keymap.c, menus.c, ledit.c

Therefore it would be easier to define Key_Ctrl_M in keydefs.
Other ambiguous keys:
   Ctrl+J    Ctrl-Return
   Ctrl-I    Tab
   Ctrl-H    Backspace

TODO:
   * Add Key_Ctrl_M (and others) to keydefs.sl

   * site.sl should require("keydefs")

   * jed should have an option like -term=someterm that would load
     someterm.sl (from startup_hook). Here you can set Key_Ctrl_M to
     anything that the terminal returns.
     OR: Jed uses the environment variable JED_TERM=someterm
     and someterm.sl loads at the end of keydefs.sl

   * all setkey() calls should be called from a function that
     gets called at the end of site.sl. It is important that
     someterm.sl is evaluated first.

   * *all* .sl files should be modified to use keydefs.sl

   * xterm should be changed to support x_set_keysym ("^M", ...)
