(Get the code!)
A historical note: The old Netscape browser was pretty good about adding the www. and .com strings to a hostname in the URL bar automatically. Well, it did a good job on Unix/Linux boxes anyway -- it never worked as smoothly on Windows systems for some reasons (maybe DNS lookups took longer on Windows?).
Anyway, since that worked so well on my Linux box, I got accustomed to just typing in "cnn" or whatever, pressing Enter, and letting the browser do the thinking for me. No Ctrl+Enter required.
Maybe it should just be off by default, and Ctrl+Enter should just behave like pressing Enter unless the user says they want different behavior (personally I want Ctrl+Enter to open a new tab, but if people are going to say "That's not the way IE does it", then I'd rather have it not do anything special by default).
