S-RET not incrementing table cell with emacs -nw

S-RET not incrementing table cell with emacs -nw

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

If I run emacs or emacsclient with the option -nw or -t, the chord S-RET
in a table cell does not create a new cell below with the incremented
value.  It just creates a new empty cell.  When running Emacs with a
GUI, the incrementation works.

Is this a known problem?  If so, is there a solution?

Cheers,

Loris

Most terminals don't even know what a S-RET is (i.e. they don't have
a code sequence to pass it to the application). Actually, most terms
just pass 0x0a, i.e. "linefeed".

So Emacs has no chance to "see" that you meant S-RET.
