Ctrl+Enter resolves to Enter

[Thomas Queste]

Ctrl-Enter (and Shift-Enter) resolves to Enter (ie. as-is Enter was pressed).
It was not the case when using an older version of Terminator.
This forbids binding Ctrl+Enter to a function/program (zsh accept-autocomplete for me).

Is it possible to distinguish between Enter and Ctrl+Enter ?

Version not working: 1.91-1 (Ubuntu 17.10)

In Terminator:

$ showkey -a
Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^M 13 0015 0x0d <--- Enter
^M 13 0015 0x0d <--- Ctrl-Enter, was ^J before
^M 13 0015 0x0d <--- Shift-Enter

In LXterminal:

$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^M 13 0015 0x0d <--- Enter
^J 10 0012 0x0a <--- Ctrl-Enter
^M 13 0015 0x0d <--- Shift-Enter

This was changed in VTE version 0.40 to match xterm and pretty much all other terminal emulators, see also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743258 and https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=c91ad5640.

LXTerminal is one of the last few VTE-based terminal emulators that still supports ancient, unmaintained and terribly buggy GTK2-based VTE rather than forcing GTK3. So it shouldn't be treated as a reference for the desired behavior.

Thanks Egmont for the references.
