Confusing naming of keys .....

"enter" is normally, on Windows, (I believe) the keypad "enter" key, not the usual "enter/return/big-left-arrow/ ..." key

I say "I believe" because I actually use a laptop, without a keypad, so for me to get "Enter" I need to use a Fn key combination (in my case, Fn/[ - marked as "enter" on the front edge of the key itself).

While the distinction might have been useful on Macs, Windows machines have been mislabeling the Return key for years (almost all Wintel keyboards label it "Enter"). That, along with PowerBooks fast outnumbering desktop Macs, make any UI based on the distinction a risky proposition.

I once loved doing that, but have had to design around it in recent years, giving the same behaviors to both the true Enter and mislabeled Return keys.
