Enter Key broke

The 'enter' key on my keyboard has broken. More specifically, it seems that part of the plastic piece underneath the key isn't holding it down. I have no idea how it happened, I just noticed it when I hit it once (no, not hard!).
What should I do? Can I replace it? Will I have to get it repaired somewhere?
I do have the applecare protection plan.

I should note, it is broken. The little white (tiny!) piece of plastic that connects to the keyboard is broken off =(

The small white bracket underneath my Enter key broke, does apple cover this under warrenty?

I got the 13 inch Mmacbook Pro for Christmas about 3 weeks ago and I started having issues with my "Enter" key almost immediately out of the box. I didn't see a huge probably with it until it started to get worse. Now if I press the top of it at all it comes out. I think the small, white bracket underneath the key broke because when I examine it, there is a small portion of it missing. Could have just been a production flaw or something. Either way, I wanted to know if Apple covers this under warrently. I have no problem going to Apple if they can fix it and I have looked everywhere for the part to see if I can just order it. Thanks!

You have a 1 year warrenty against manufacturing defects.
Use it now at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
Also this is evidence you will want to buy AppleCare to extend the hardware warranty to 3 years.

Return/enter key is broken, help please.

So basically, after I downloaded an update for my computer, restarted, blah blah, my enter key broke. Also, my mouse would flash randomly sometimes too, and occasionally i would type a word only for it to be highlighted for some reason and I would accidentally delete it. But my main concern is the enter key. It's making using my macbook very difficult, and I would appreciate it if someone could help. Also, I'm using a 13 inch Macbook pro from late 2012, and the update was an update for mavericks, but I can't remember it's name.

It's probably broken. I've never heard of software breaking a keys, but it's possible, so you might want to back up your data and do a clean install. If it still doesn't work , it needs to be repaired

Where can i buy an enter key for a macbook pro 13" mid 2010?

I accidentally messed up my enter key, and i believe i just broke the little thing that holds the metal bar or something...
i was wondering where could i buy a replacement for it.
thanks in advance

Replacement keycaps can be found at replacementlaptopkeys.com.
There is a YouTube instructional video on how to replace the keycap here:

Broken enter key

Hello,
My display on my MacBook Pro had recently died so i got it repaired about a month ago, it wasn't under warranty but was a known hardware issue so was replaced free of charge. I was also told i got a 3 month warranty of some sort.
Since i got it back i found out my enter key is now broken. When using it would sometimes fall off and id have to re-attach it. From what i can see when the enter key comes off is one of the tiny plastic clips is snapped off which i think causes this.
Would this warranty i got from the known hardware issue cover this? I'm also sure that my enter key was fine before i got it repaired so im pretty sure that Apple Support may have broke it.
a picture can be attached if required
Thanks,
Lachlan

Would this warranty i got from the known hardware issue cover this?
Probably not; warranties on a repair usually only apply to the issue of the repair. But you can call Apple and discuss it with them.
I'm also sure that my enter key was fine before i got it repaired so im pretty sure that Apple Support may have broke it.
Again, call and discuss it with Apple tech support. You may have a hard time convincing them that it wasn't broken when you sent the system in, but you can talk it over with them.
If it's the key cap itself that's broken and not the switch, you can order a new key cap. PowerBookMedic is one source, though the shipping to Australia may well be multiple times what the key cap itself will cost. Perhaps there's a source of parts in Australia, though I haven't found one when doing a quick search.
EDIT: AB's advice is well taken: don't delay in reporting the broken key, to Apple if they repaired the system or to the service center if your MBP was repaired by an independent service center. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be for you to convince them that the system was damaged in their keeping or during shipment.

How to refresh changed data in a plannable template with the Enter Key

Hi,
The situation I face is as follows.
Integrated Planning is being implemented as a tool for budgeting. The user changes a value in a plannable cell on the portal and wishes to see the new updated data by pressing ENTER. Currently we have provided a REFRESH button so that the user gets the desired result.
Is it possible to see the updated value by pressing ' ENTER' and if so , whats the way around to do it.
thanks in advance.
Jaya

Hey guys,
I'm interested too in this solution. In BPS there is an additional function described in the HowTo Paper HowTo run planning functions on save and other events
Now I'm looking for this possibility in IP as well in excel-based IP and web-based IP. For example a copy function should be executed automatically when pushing the enter key.
Thanks a lot!

Table Control[Accept Input Only] - "ENTER" Key

Hi Folks,
I'm reviving this unanswered thread in relation to table control: when the user press enter, all the values entered disappear.
[url]Re: Table control (Enter key)[url]
I have a table control that accepts "ONLY" input, meaning to say, there will be no pre-loading of data in the PBO, so it will loop through the table control itself instead of looping from an internal table.
Issue: Whenever I press "ENTER" in any column/row of my table control, ALL the values I entered disappear.
PBO:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE CLEAR_OKCODE.
MODULE LOAD_TABLECTRL.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
    MODULE READ_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
module READ_DATA output.
READ TABLE T_DATA INTO WA_DATA INDEX TC_DATA-current_line.
data : line_count type i.
"to increase the number of lines in table control dynamically
describe TABLE t_data lines line_count.
TC_DATA-lines = line_count + 10.
endmodule.
PAI:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
    MODULE MODIFY_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
module MODIFY_DATA input.
WHEN 'CREATE'.
"subroutines are here, etc.
WHEN 'DELETE'.
WHEN 'BACK'.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
endmodule.
In my ABAP Debug, the value of SY-UCOMM is BLANK whenever I press Enter.
Thanks.

Hi
Your code seems to be rght only the MODIFY statament is useless:
module READ_DATA output.
READ TABLE T_ID_CHECK INTO WA_ID_CHECK INDEX TC_ID-current_line.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    ZQID_CHECK-WERKS = WA_ID_CHECK-WERKS.
    ZQID_CHECK-MATNR = WA_ID_CHECK-MATNR.
    ZQID_CHECK-LICHA = WA_ID_CHECK-LICHA.
    ZQID_CHECK-LIFNR = WA_ID_CHECK-LIFNR.
ELSE.
    CLEAR ZQID_CHECK.
ENDIF.
endmodule.
Now before LOOP of PBO try to set the lines of table control to be display, I've created this report on my system and it works fine:
.CONTROLS T_CTRL TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN 100.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
          WERKS LIKE MARC-WERKS,

      END   OF ITAB.

DO 4 TIMES.
    ITAB-WERKS = '5010'.
    ITAB-MATNR = '1234567890'.
    ITAB-LIFNR = '0000000001'.
    APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
CALL SCREEN 100.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING ITAB TO WA.
ELSE.
    CLEAR WA.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                 " READ_DATA OUTPUT
MODULE MODIFY_DATA INPUT.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX T_CTRL-CURRENT_LINE.

Buttons and enter key problem

hello,
there are a few projects of enterprise quality which I am developing in java swing. I found out through research that many or rather most people involved with java believe that swing is ready for enterprise class robust desktop applications.
so I as the team leador am starting my new projects in java swing.
I personally find that the amount of java libraries present provide a rich set of functionality and it gives big mussle power to the developers.
I am only concerned about one problem which many of you might have solved.
I find that I have to hit the space bar instead of enter key to fire an action. in languages like vb I can press enter key to fire the click events. specially in menu items I certainly don't expect my clients to press the spacebar. besides there are many people who are so used to the keyboard and enter key in particular that it will be hard or rather next to impossible to change their habbits.
how can I make the menu items work with the enter key. I mean do I need to create the code for keypress events every time I also create an action performed method? or is there a way where I can do it without extra coding.
it is just that I don't want to right extra code for enter key along with click events.
one more important note.
I am a blind person and I use the access bridge technology of java.
so when I am involved in coding, I use the same.
so may be my problem isn't a problem in the first place.
kindly provide me some help
thanks
Krishnakant.

The enter-key works on menu-items in all my applications. It did so since I started with java few years ago.
Maybe some other problem (OS-specific) ?

Enter Key is not being accepted properly in the Applet

We have developed a Telnet application which is in form of an Applet. We are facing some problems with respect to that.
We are using Java 1.2.
When login sessions are launched, the login prompt is displayed.
After we enter the user id and press the "Enter" Key, the UI remains at the "user id" prompt and is not accepting the "Enter" Key.
As a result, we are not getting the password prompt and hence NE UI is not deing displayed.
This was verified with logs and found that the "Enter" key was interpreted as "char 7" instead of Ascii char 10(Enter Key).
This problem was observed in both IE and Netscape.
But this same code works fine when it is run as a Java application. Also the same applet works fine when viewed from the Applet Viewer.
Iam of the view that the issue may be due to the restrictions imposed by the browsers on the Java Applet.
Please give me suggestions to circumvent this problem ,if u have faced the same.
Thanks in advance,
Darshan

The reason why ENTER doesn't work is because it's reserved for the default button. The SPACEBAR does what you want.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/javax/swing/doc-files/Key-Metal.html#JButton
To change the key mappings, read up on JComponent.getActionMap(), JComponent.setActionMap() and the ActionMap class.

LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key

Hi Experts,
I'm facing the issue as stated in the OSS note 916654 - LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key. My current system is ECC, that is why the OSS is already applied to the ECC version. But the problem is, i still faced the problem stated in the OSS.
Symptom
In customizing:
- You have defined [ENTER] in destination screen 302 to SAVE items.
- You want to verify the destination bin information.
You use 'Confirm Transfer Order Clustered' RF transaction LM13.
You scan several SUs and press enter.
You press [F4-Next pushbutton] to confirm the associated TO(s).
In the destination screen 302, you scan the verification value for the first item and press [ENTER] key.
==> The item is confirmed correctly but when the system proposes the next item, the verification value of the first item is displayed.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Pls help.
thanks

Action for ENTER KEY is not working in alv grid output (Classical)

Hi Experts,
I have searched SDN around 8 hours and could not get any help on my below issue.
I am developing ALV report using function module (Classical ALV). ALV output has 4 input enable fields, if user enters data in any of those fields and clicks on enter button from key pad..the remaining fields needs to be filled automatically.
I am facing the issue with enter key, even if i press enter key in the output there is no action and hence no user command triggered. May be i am using wrong funcion code in wrong way.
Could any one tell me what function code can we assign for ENTER action in PF-STATUS?

Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension has had to be disabled, as after typing in any web address in the address bar, the enter key had no effect and I could not go to the site without pressing the Reload arrow on right.

I have recently upgraded Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the enter key and get to the website, nor could I select a website from the dropdown list of previously visited websites. The only way I could get there was by pressing the arrow on the right side of the address box (Reload current page). Once I disabled the AVG extension, everything worked normally. As soon as I enabled the AVG extension, it stopped working again.

Follow these steps for the controls to work:
# Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox
# Find the “Tools” menu at the top of the browser window and select “Add-ons”.
# Click on the “Extensions” icon to make sure you’re in the correct option menu.
# Locate “AVG Safe Search” and click on the containing line to highlight and select the add-on.
# Click the “Disable” button and close the Add-ons window.
# Close down any Firefox windows you may have open.
# That’s It – You’re Done!

Why does firefox change fonts when I am trying to download or get help, click and enter keys are disabled why?

I recently did a clean install of windows7 after returning from Europe and installed Mozilla firefox being fed up with microsoft and google .
Fire fox seemed to be working ok but 7 out of 10 downloads were failing, and it seemed that every ebsite entered in the address bar turned into a question.
There was no save shortcut, or paste buttons just a set of to me useless buttons first html, last html, then when I tried to contact help all of a sudden I got a "install fonts" notice and the enter key stopped working,
and any action key was also disabled without advising me.
It appears that either Mozilla or someone doesn't want me using firefox.
I also noticed that the clean disk and other utilities didn't work and that the temp and temp internet folders were empty when I tried to open them but they actually had some 25 megabytes in them when queried as administrator. I also noticed a quick flash reference to Jscript=void,
and my 32 bit computer suddenly started up as a 64 bit Turion.
scan and system clean said machine was clean.
Whats going on here?
I am not on my machine, I can't contact you on it because the enter button has been disabled by font change.
Maybe this robot needs some help too!

Can you undo the system restore?
Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
*You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I prevent forms from being prematurely submitted when users click on the "Enter" key?

Is there any way that I can prevent Dreamweaver CF submission forms from being prematurely submitted by the user when he/she clicks on the "Enter" key before they have completed the form? I need the users to finish form and click on the "Submit" key. I have the "Submit" key action configured as "submit form"

Thank you!
Found a solution through Google.
