I believe that the term used should be<i> Enter</i>. <i>Return</i> is very outdated, and only the oldest keyboards that have <i>Enter</i> keys extended to where the <i>backslash</i> key is, with those tiny <i>backspace</i> keys use them. The term Enter is much more easy to understand.<br>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
We have a bug [1] where the reporter recommends that we refer to the<br>
Return/Enter key as "Enter" instead of "Return". It seems that we<br>
currently refer to that key by both names in the documentation; I think<br>
that it would be a good idea to standardise on one and put a note in the<br>
style guide about it. The question is, which variant should we use?<br>
<br>
It's worth noting that the GNOME Style Guide [2] recommends using<br>
"Return". I also ran the following commands on the ubuntu-intrepid<br>
branch:<br>
<br>
$ find `pwd` -wholename "*/C/*.xml*" | xargs grep "<keycap>Return" | wc<br>
-l<br>
27<br>
<br>
$ find `pwd` -wholename "*/C/*.xml*" | xargs grep "<keycap>Enter" | wc<br>
-l<br>
8<br>
<br>
The reporter of the bug and another commenter feel that "Enter" is the<br>
more commonly-used term, however. Does anyone have a strong preference<br>
either way?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
