@Kamil Janeczek i have a screen flow in that first screen we have multiple search properties and second screen results of a list view. in this process while i am in first screen if add any search value and enter it should move to second screen.

@VenkateswararaoK I think for your scenario you can both the screens into one screen using Advance Search and select feature in constellation. We have tried this approach

@VinaySarupuruthanks for chiming in.
"Enter" button issues doesn't look like the underlying problem rather it is a solution for some other issue.
@VenkateswararaoK : can you describe what you want to achieve? Please take a look on this article: https://community.pega.com/conversations/user-experience/advanced-use-c… it shows how you can avoid split in two screeens

@Kamil Janeczek thanks for the response. My requirement is the ability to use enter button on keyboard to initiate some action on UI elements (for example we have a UI with property name customer ID. for each ID we have table of values like search and select and also please note that we have 9 search properties in one screen ). Once we added ID/any property in UI instead of clicking submit/selection are we able to configure enter button on keyboard to trigger/move to the next screen for the results table). In theme cosmos we achieve this with using Action Sets to bind the Enter key to a specific action. I’m aware action sets removed in constellation any other alternative for this.

@VenkateswararaoKthe enter key is already available on the submit button, you just need to 'tab' to the element.
Each element which is reachable in the UI and has an interactive element in it, has the option to use the key-board enter key. Examples are Date-picker, hyperlinks, buttons (like @Kamil Janeczek suggested in search and select pattern). By adding other behavior to other elements you will start confusing the UX, potentially even trap the user after enter.
