Status bar: return/enter key icon functionality nowhere to be found


Recommended Posts

Please bare with me. I’m new to this app. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve spent way too much time trying to find the return input in the status bar to enter or confirm certain commands in the interface. Where is this? I would assume this would be a simple thing but I can’t find it anywhere.

The Status Bar tells you modifier keys to use with the current Tool, and their function when used. Enter is not a modifier key, and it will not show up in the Status Bar even if it works.

In any case, that function is for the Desktop versions only at this time:

@BenjaminM That symbol is used to represent the Return or Enter key on your keyboard to save space but you won't find that symbol on an Apple keyboard. It's on some Windows keyboards and is recognized as the standard symbol or Return or Enter.

Serif likely used the symbol to save space, and because on macOS there are separate Return and Enter keys, both of which do the same thing in this case, and Enter is only on an extended keyboard so they'd have to write Return/Enter which would take up a lot of space.
