Use keydown event to do it:

   input: HTMLDivElement | null = null;

   onKeyDown = (event: React.KeyboardEvent): void => {
      // 'keypress' event misbehaves on mobile so we track 'Enter' key via 'keydown' event
      if (event.key === 'Enter') {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.stopPropagation();
        this.onSubmit();
      }
    }

    onSubmit = (): void => {
      if (input.textContent) {
         this.props.onSubmit(input.textContent);
         input.focus();
         input.textContent = '';
      }
    }

    render() {
      return (
         

            this.input = node} 
           />
