Replacing mouse click with keyboard 'enter' key

Anvil Q&A

Is it possible to replace the mouse click of a button (as with 'Submit" in code below) with keyboard ‘Enter’ key?

Would appreciate a tip.

Code Sample:

def search_button_click(self, **event_args):
    search_page = {}
    submit_clicked = alert(
      content= Userpage(item = search_page),
      title="Search data",
      large=True,
      buttons=[("Submit", True), ("Cancel", False)],
    ) ```

I’m guessing the content of your alert has a text box or something with the “pressed_enter” event.

You can close an alert manually and send back a custom value (in your case, True or False), just like if your user clicked the buttons.

Great!
Thank you for the tip.

I checked my codes. The clickable item is coded, no button component to bind a ‘pressed enter’ event. So, I am back to square one on this.

Can you share an image of how your alert looks like so we can try to help you better?
