Description
Currently, items typed into the REPL / interactive window require a double semi-colon at the end.
This may work better with experience, but I tend to forget to add the semi-colons.
I propose that an additional key-combination, perhaps Ctrl-Enter, be added as an alternative.
This might make it easier for beginners.

Research direction
The proposal concerns input handling in the REPL / interactive window. Start by locating how that window recognizes the terminating double semicolon and handles key bindings; determine whether an additional key sequence can be supported consistently. Done means the proposed shortcut submits an item without requiring the double semicolon, with behavior documented and covered by relevant tests.
