Bonjour problème,
hm, just tested your script and works as exspected in a new and otherwise empty stack!?
Where did you put your "enterkey" handler?
Best

Probleme.
This is a great lesson.
What Klaus means is that when you discover that you had put your handler in a control script, try to think why that handler did not fire when you pressed the enter key.
Now think about the message hierarchy, and what it would mean if you placed your handler in the card or stack script.

Could the issue be with using enterKey instead of returnKey?
Code: Select all
on returnKey
put "Enter key pressed"
end returnKey
Kind Regards,

Neil...
Using
Code: Select all
on returnkey
put "boo"
end returnkey
works fine... in the dictionary entry for the 'returnKey'.. 'The Return key (confusingly labeled "Enter" on some keyboards) is usually located above the right-hand Shift key. It is the key you press to go to a new line.'... but there is also an entry for 'enterKey' and that is what the OP asked about and is not working...

Yes, but I was curious is the OP was getting the return key mixed up with enter key
Kind Regards,

If this is happening in a field control try the messages for that: returnInField and enterInField.

Ha.
A stampede of helpers, all with the wrong take (except Neil) and all the time is was the non-standard keyboard.

Aha - we now have a collective noun for LiveCode developers - a 'stampede'
