Actually, there is more: 

  Many editing modes (c_mode, slang_mode, perl_mode, php_mode, to name but a
  few) bind the return key to newline_and_indent() in their local keymap.
  Therefore you will need to change this binding in the global_mode_hook.
  
  In your jed.rc, write e.g.

      % fix staircase effect with mouse-pasting in an x-terminal
      #ifndef XWINDOWS IBMPC_SYSTEM
      define global_mode_hook (hook)
      {
         setkey("newline_indent", "^M");   
      }
      #endif

  or add the setkey() line to an already existing global_mode_hook()
  definition.
