Since it is the same as Mathematica, at least that crowd is already used 
to shift-enter.  Of course, I believe it is the opposite of Maple, where 
shift-enter gives you a new line and enter evaluates your input.

Maybe putting "or press shift-enter" next to the "evaluate" hyperlink on 
an active cell would be prominent enough.

Incidentally, on a mac, pressing the "enter" key (down by the space bar) 
on Mathematica will also evaluate a cell, if I recall correctly.  Is it 
the same for Sage?
