You mean "enter", not "intro", right?

Looking at

,----[ C-h k RET ]
| RET (translated from <kp-enter>) runs the command newline, which is an

| It is bound to RET.

| (newline &optional arg)

| Insert a newline, and move to left margin of the new line if it's

| the text-property `hard'.
| With arg, insert that many newlines.
| Call `auto-fill-function' if the current column number is greater than
| the value of `fill-column' and arg is nil.

I can see that the key <kb-enter> currently translates to RET, but emacs
seems to distinguish.  So you can define it separately:

  (define-key 'some-key-map (kbd "<kp-enter) 'some-command)
