Related to bug 22526 and as a parallel to bug 56696, it would be convenient if
Ctrl-Enter could submit a form in a TEXTAREA.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place cursor in "Additional Comments" area
2. Enter some text
3. Hit Ctrl-Enter
Actual Results: No submit
Expected Results: Form is submitted.
As mentioned in bug 20336 and bug 56696, there'd likely need to be a pref for
this, such as:

I disagree with this bug.
* It is easy to hit Ctrl+Enter accidentally when trying to press Enter. See bug
20336 (where ctrl+enter sends mail message) and bug 177618 (where ctrl+enter
prepends "www" and appends "com" to any url).
* Submitting a form with a textarea too early is often more dangerous than
sending an e-mail too early. Examples of where submitting a form with a
textarea early is dangerous are bugzilla, slashdot, and some stores.
I strongly disagree with comment 4 - by that argument we should also remove the ability to submit a form by pressing Enter in a (single-line) textbox or on a checkbox or radio button. Clearly Ctrl+Enter is harder to press accidentally than just Enter.

No, that's not clearly true. It's easier to press Ctrl+Enter accidentally *while intentionally pressing Enter* than it is to hit Enter accidentally. And people do press Enter intentionally in textareas.
