You'd also need a way to tell the blank window to quit when you close roxterm.
I think that I mostly understand what you're saying here in theory.

I had it so when I pressed the Enter key, it would run a script to send a Return signal and then close the keyboard.

The thing is, when it sent the Return signal, the script would restart all over again.

Thus giving me the joy of watching a stupid infinite loop of unhappiness.
