Label tool Enter/Return changed in AC14...
I'm using a MAC so Alpha is Return and Numeric is Enter. In 13 and previous versions (I think) Return was carriage return and Enter entered the command or closed the window.... Now in AC14 they both are carriage return.... Very annoying.
Is there a way to fix this?

Hold down the Command key when hitting Return or Enter to exit editing mode from the Label or Text tools.

I did figure out that in 14 Enter does work as I expect it to unless the curser is in the text window. If the text window is not active the the Enter key works as the command enter closing the window....When the cursor is not in the text field both return and enter operate as the default OK to close the dialog. It is only during actual text editing (where you may want a linefeed/carriage return) that the distinction exists.
