Only, there's no such "enter" thing. So you are a cold liar.

There's a key labelled "Return" that enters a CARRIAGE RETURN ASCII
control code whose value is 13. This value can also be obtained with
Control and the 13th letter, M, hence the representation as ^M. If you
don't like CR, then don't use the RET key.

On unix, newline is represented by the ASCII code LINE FEED, value 10,
which can be entered using Control and the 10th letter, J.
Then type: C-q C-j

It stopped working when you lost those neurons when you banged your head
on the floor. Leave backflips to professionnal acrobats, not for your
youtube channel.
