Shift+Enter same as CTRL-F?

[citizenmatt]

Hi all. I've noticed that <S-CR> works the same as <C-F> in GUI MacVim. But in console Vim, <S-CR> acts the same as <CR>. Anyone know what's going on? I don't have any mappings - this was checked with mvim -u NONE and vim -u NONE.

This is the correct but confusing behavior. In Vim, <CR> acts just like <Down> in normal mode, which just moves cursor down by one line. If you do :help <S-Down>, it does the same thing as <PageDown> and CTRL-F, which also means <S-CR> does the same thing and move down half a page.

<S-CR> doesn't work in a lot of terminals though as this is not a mapping you can use. Thererfore it's just using the regular <CR>even when you press shift.

You can always remap <S-CR> to something else if there is aparticualr need for it.
