Description
System: Arch Linux
Data about micro:
Version: 2.0.11
Commit hash: 225927b9
Compiled on August 09, 2022
Problem: when pressing the Enter key (numeric keypad) it does not generate newline (as expected).
All the other keys in the numeric keypad work fine (both with numlock on, and with numlock off).

Research direction
Reproduce the numeric-keypad Enter behavior on Arch Linux using micro 2.0.11, checking both numlock states and comparing it with the other keypad keys. Trace the input handling entry point for keypad Enter and identify why it does not produce a newline. Done means keypad Enter inserts a newline consistently while the other keypad behavior remains unchanged.
