Hello,
Is there a way to bind C-m and return to different keybindings?

Thanks,

Yes, of course. The input events just need to be distinguishable for  
GNU Emacs.

I don't quite understand what this means - I have
(global-define-key (kbd "C-m") 'execute-extended-command)
but it also binds RETURN.  How do I make the input events distinguishable?
I'm not running emacs in a terminal.

Thank,s
Nathaniel Flath

Use [return].

If your RETURN (aka Enter) key sends a Control-M character, then you're out of
luck: they are the same thing.
 
If your RETURN key sends something different, that is, if Emacs can distinguish
what it sends from C-m, then you can distinguish in Emacs Lisp. You can bind
[return] instead of C-m.
 
Same thing with TAB and C-i, etc. You can bind [tab] or C-i or both (to
different things). But if your TAB key always sends C-i, then you cannot
distinguish the two in Emacs Lisp. AFAIK.

Yes, of course. The input events just need to be distinguishable for GNU Emacs.
