Even though Macs have only one keyboard key for it, there is a difference between (carriage) return and enter. I need to type an enter (not return) into a field (it's a macro utility, and there's no ability to enter ASCII codes).
I know there used to be a way to do this (maybe it's because I used to have a keyboard with a numeric keyboard where the Enter key sent an enter command) but I don't have a full-sized keyboard anymore. On my MacBook Pro keyboard, the return key has an "enter" label, too (in smaller type above "return") and I thought I might be able to use a modifier key (Shift/Option/Command/Control), but that doesn't seem to be working.
There's only just one key for them both if you use Apple's abbreviated keyboard, which is a horrible kludge anyway. (Putting the [fn] key where [control] belongs is a crime against UX design, and a slap in the face of all terminal users!) The full keyboard has two keys. – iconoclast – 2016-11-08T18:56:07.593
Are you able to grab a full-size keyboard and plug it into the USB port? – Kruug – 2013-06-14T22:47:07.493
Yes… but I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve any extra hardware. But thanks for the suggestion. – Tom Lloyd – 2013-12-03T16:51:24.807
