Not sure if this would work better in a different place, although the only case
where things go not to nano's liking is here.

Debugging ttywrite() got me thinking, why is it that pressing Enter will not
result in what would seem logical '\n' but '\r' as well instead?
tty(1) mentions CR, though I'm completely lost if/why that be the right place.

I'm on sandy now, and I don't see the cursor because somehow the rest of the
line has almost the same color...

cheers!
