A keyboard's return key (often called enter key although it is technically a different key) either executes a dialog's main function or starts a new line, depending on the context in which it is used.

Variants

Depending on the keyboard layout the return key has different shapes. Many touch typists prefer the so called ANSI enter, which is found on keyboards with US ANSI keyboards, because it is easier to reach with the right pinky. On European layouts the so called ISO enter is predominant, which is bigger in size but more difficult to reach with the pinky.
