You're right, it's probably the best workaround.  Still not as
convenient as just clicking the mouse button though :)

I installed jed-extra and tried this in ~/.jed/jed.rc, but it didn't
help, not even with just setkey("newline_indent", "^M"); on its own.

With nothing set in jed.rc:
Key "^M" runs the internal function newline_and_indent

With A3, setkey("newline", "^M");
Key "^M" runs the internal function newline_and_indent   <--- there's
the problem, no change!

Same again with A4, setkey("newline_indent","^M");

It's like jed.rc is being completely ignored.  It doesn't make a
difference whether I'm trying to make the settings in ~/.jed/jed.rc,
~/.jedrc or even /etc/jed.d/99newline-noindent.sl :(

Yes, that works! For both A3 and A4 (both versions).

Apparently it is not, nor is /etc/jed.d.
