<p>I found this awesome blog post on the Korean blog <a href="http://seorenn.blogspot.com">Seorenn SIGSEGV</a>.</p>
<p>Using Google translate, I was able to extract the information I needed. However, Google translate quite botched it, as did Yahoo and Bing translate.  I&#8217;ve used a combination of these three tools, and my understanding of Emacs, to put together a more reasonable translation.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m posting the full English text of it here because this is a problem I&#8217;ve had, and would like to help others find the solution. I don&#8217;t mean to rip off the original author, his blog seems quite good, worth reading, if you don&#8217;t mind poor translations (or, can read Korean).</p>
<p>The original post can be found here <a href="http://seorenn.blogspot.com/2011/05/emacs-autopair-term-mode.html">here</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>
In Emacs term-mode (<kbd>M-x term</kbd>) and multi-term-mode pressing the Enter key causes an error to appear in the mini-buffer, and the keystroke appears to have been eaten.</p>
<p>This problem only occurs when using autopair. <span class="untranslated">are thought to In addition to or RET (Enter) as a separate feature for all modes of binding may also occur. if autopair the last of the solution are presented.</span></p>
<p><span class="untranslated">See below sum up shoveling machine.</span></p>
<h4>Issue</h4>
<p>During term-mode RET does not work. The mini-buffer shows the error message <tt>Wrong type argument: characterp, return</tt>. RET has been bound to something here, <span class="untranslated">or maybe you saw the state I had a feeling heard nil.</span></p>
<h4>Alternative</h4>
<p>Fortunately, I was able to replace the RET key with <kbd>C-j</kbd>. This is used as a temporary measure to work with.</p>
<h4>Cause Analysis</h4>
<p>In term-mode use <kbd>C-h k</kbd> to find the function that RET is bound to. <span class="untranslated">autopair that certain functions were bound.</span></p>
<p>As a result, be sure that autopair is the culprit.</p>
<h4>Attempted Solution</h4>
<p>In term-mode <kbd>C-h k</kbd> with <kbd>C-j</kbd> to determine the function bound to: <code>term-send-raw</code>. </p>
<p>In conclusion, I believe you will solve the problem in the RET key bindings by using <code>define-key</code> to bind the key to <code>term-send-raw</code> in <code>term-mode-map</code>.</p>
<p>But the code encounters an error. Is not allowed to do something it felt like.</p>
<h4>Solution</h4>
<p>The code below. Not two lines were able to solve it.</p>
<pre>
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook
  #'(lambda () (setq autopair-dont-activate t)))
</pre>
<p>Source of the above code: <a href="http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2010/06/console-apps-in-emacs-with-multi-term.html">http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2010/06/console-apps-in-emacs-with-multi-term.html</a>
