type text, press Enter...makes return

Anonymous

Not sure if there is a simple setting to enable the Enter key.

When I type some text and press Enter on the key board, I get a return instead...to get out of the text dialogue I have to click w/ the cursor somewhere else in the window. Is there a setting somewhere that will enable the Enter key to function like it is supposed to?

Great, now when I'm doing the serious business of Architecture, I can also feel like I'm playing twister on the keyboard.
I'm assuming that everyone's keyboard looks like mine. With the twister colors scheme.

After selecting the text----

To increase font size use " ctrl + Shift + > "

To decrease font size use "ctrl+shift+ <"

Thought of sharing this with you all.

This is nice. I wonder if there are any more shortcuts of this character.
I am a keyboard guy, I use the keyboard almost exclusively to issue commands.

The funny thing is that for years AC on the Mac always made the (proper, IMHO) distinction between the "return" and "enter" keys, but not in Windows. Then for a brief time it even worked in Windows before they "fixed" it to the present condition for both programs. I would still miss the old functionality except that I have remapped the enter key on my MacBook Pro to be the right option key.
