Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨November 2021⁩.

Theenterkeyhintglobal attributeis anenumerated attribute defining what action label (or icon) to present for the enter key on virtual keyboards.

Try it

<input enterkeyhint="go" /><p contenteditable enterkeyhint="go">https://example.org</p>

Form controls (such as<textarea>or<input> elements) or elements usingcontenteditable can specify aninputmode attribute to control what kind of virtual keyboardwill be used. To further improve the user's experience, the enter key can be customized specifically by providing anenterkeyhintattribute indicating how the enter key should be labeled (or which icon should be shown). The enter key usuallyrepresents what the user should do next; typical actions are: sending text, inserting a new line, or searching.

If noenterkeyhint attribute is provided, the user agent might use contextual information from theinputmode,type,orpatternattributes to display a suitable enter key label (or icon).
