This to me seems a little odd. And in the past it has made me always a little 
wary of konqueror as I never actually sat down and experimented to work out 
this behaviour - it always just seemed a bit random what happened. Now you've 
explained it I can see that it's not random, although it seems strange that 
everything happens to the selection unless you press enter, in which case the 
selection is ignored.

I just did an experiment in kwrite, and when I've selected some text and then 
press Enter, the selected text is replaced with a line break.

I'd like to see konqueror execute the selected items when the enter key is 
pressed, to make things consistent and predictable.
