You can use the "Freeciv*mapcanvas.translations" resource to remap the 
keyboard; copy it from data/Freeciv, remove the line with
"<Key>KP_Enter:" (I remove the line with "<Key>e:"), and run xdrb.

I second this; a simpler way to give "goto" commands to units with 0
moves left would be nice.

I think disbanding cities should be possible, but it should be slow
and expensive.  The best I thought of is: if a city of size 1 is
completing a settler, you get a choice of
    1) delaying completion, like now
    2) completing the settler and eliminate the city
