Re: need a multi line text widget to respond to 'ENTER'

[Azrael <azrael azrael-uk f2s com>]

seems using vte_terminal_feed_child() is what I want to use, and also
sending along a \n mimics the return as I had expected. So also does \r
instead, or I can even send through the original event->string that
triggered the function (which in my case is a return key press).
