How to trigger “OK” button with Enter key in JSL ?

lala — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 04:11:25 GMT

I created a dialog window with a text input field and an OK button.
Currently, the next step can only be triggered by clicking the OK button with the mouse.

I would like to know:
Is it possible in JSL to allow pressing the Enter key to trigger the OK button (i.e., proceed to the next step) instead of clicking it manually?

If this is not supported, what is the recommended or standard workaround in JMP?
Thanks Experts!

"Recommended" workaround depends on what you are trying to do. << Set Function + << Click() is one option but it will trigger when the input is committed not just on enter press.
