Answer 1

The easy way to detect whether the user has pressed enter is to use key number the enter key number is =13 to check the value of key in your device

$("input").keypress(function (e) {
  if (e.which == 32 || (65 <= e.which && e.which <= 65 + 25)
                    || (97 <= e.which && e.which <= 97 + 25)) {
    var c = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
    $("p").append($(""))
          .children(":last")
          .append(document.createTextNode(c));
  } else if (e.which == 8) {
    // backspace in IE only be on keydown
    $("p").children(":last").remove();
  }
  $("div").text(e.which);
});

by pressing the enter key you will get result as 13 . using the key value you can call a function or do whatever you wish

        $(document).keypress(function(e) {
      if(e.which == 13) {
console.log("User entered Enter key");
          // the code you want to run 
      }
    });

if you want to target a button once enter key is pressed you can use the code

    $(document).bind('keypress', function(e){
  if(e.which === 13) { // return
     $('#butonname').trigger('click');
  }
});

Hope it help
