   When the previous post appeared about Ctrl+Enter in auto-completion, I
had a look at extending the keys that would choose an item and tried
changing this in Scintilla. This worked in other applications but not in
PythonWin as PythonWin intercepts keys before sending them on to Scintilla.
Then I went looking through PythonWin but the code was confusing so I gave
up.

    If you are interested in working on this, the Enter key calls
newline_and_indent_event in pywin\idle\AutoIndent.py. So you could intercept
it here or else bind Enter to your own event that calls the current
newline_and_indent_event only when no autocompletion is shown.
