Answer 1

My answer leads from Ian Henry's answer about keyCode == 10, which seems to be the case in IE (tested in 8 & 9). Check if you are dealing with a windows event and ket the key code.

  $('#formID #textareaID').keypress(function(e) {
    if(window.event) {
      var keyCode = window.event.keyCode;     
    }
    else {
      var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
    }

    if( (!e.ctrlKey && (keyCode == 13)) ) {
      //do stuff and submit form
    }
    else if( (e.ctrlKey && (keyCode == 13)) || (keyCode == 10) ) {
      //do stuff and add new line to content
    }                  
  });
