On the Mac, at least, ENTER works equivalently in mvc and morphic text panes, serving as a synoynm for "accept" in both cases.

FYI only: PC keyboards usually have both a <return> key for your right
pinky and an <enter> key on the numeric keypad way off to the right.
On many PCs (including mine) the <return> key and <enter> key are both
labeled "Enter". When running X window (e.g. Linux) the distinction between
the two keys is preserved; one generates X events for "Return" and the
other for "KP_Enter" (this is all going through several layers of confusing
mapping, but you get the idea). Windows would also have access to the
two distinct keys, I presume.

PC keyboards and labeling are very inconsistent (and I'm just talking
about the U.S.  keyboards!), so a lot of application software just
treats the two keys as if they were the the same.  My Linux Squeak system
seems to be set up this way.
