[IPython-User] Getting a clean prompt without Ctrl-C

[Brian Granger]

I agree that we have a problem on the mobile side of things.  A few options:

* We can add a UI element (a button) that triggers cell execution.
* We could try to tap into the touch/gesture related events to trigger
code execution.

In the medium term we plan on implementing a fully enabled mobile
version using jQuery mobile.  It will be a blast to do that, but we
need to get the regular version to a more solid point  - we are still
getting the abstractions and architecture right - before embarking on
the mobile stuff.

Another point - the handling of Enter and Shift-Enter is quite subtle
and it is not a simple task to "just swap them".  It would add a
significant amount of complexity to an already complex part of the
code base.  I just don't think it is the right solution to this
problem.
