Try searching for 'shortcuts' or 'keybindings' in the new v4
documentation system (the keybinding docs themselves haven't changed,
but all the libraries they rely on have much better docs now).

If you find that there are just a few standard Emacs keybindings that
you're missing, please forward them on and I'll try to add to the
release for others.

Meanwhile, I've added control-j to the SVN version. I'm not sure I got
the same behavior as Emacs, but I made it just insert a newline
(without indentation in the definitions window and without submitting
the input to the REPL in the interactions window).

Is the memory limit enabled? That is, when you look in the REPL after
hitting "Run" do you see something like "memory limit: 128 megabytes"?
