How about paste()? (A1) This is basically a function to automate this task,
recommended by the Jed author.

A4 works nice here with 

  !if (is_defined("x_server_vendor"))
    setkey("newline_indent", "^M"); % correct mouse-insertion problem
 
in a file called by ~/jed.rc and newline_indent defined in txtutils.sl from
the jed-extra package.

What does Help>Show_Key return for the [Return] key after applying A3 or A4?

Does it work if you put the code in a buffer and run M-x evalbuffer?

Can you test whether the ~/.jed/jed.rc file is evaluated?


Thanks
