The enterkeyhint global attribute is an enumerated attribute defining what action label (or icon) to present for the enter key on virtual keyboards.

<input enterkeyhint="go" />

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

Description

Form controls (such as <textarea> or <input> elements) or elements using contenteditable can specify an inputmode attribute to control what kind of virtual keyboard will be used. To further improve the user’s experience, the enter key can be customized specifically by providing an enterkeyhint attribute indicating how the enter key should be labeled (or which icon should be shown). The enter key usually represents what the user should do next; typical actions are: sending text, inserting a new line, or searching.

If no enterkeyhint attribute is provided, the user agent might use contextual information from the inputmode, type, or pattern attributes to display a suitable enter key label (or icon).
