 The enter key is typically located on the lower right of the numeric keypad, and the return/enter key on the right edge of the main alphanumeric portion of the keyboard, between backspace and the right-hand shift (and/or control) key (as well as below the backslash key on keyboards using a standard ANSI / US-International layout).The return/enter key can have various physical shapes.On some keyboard layouts, the return and enter key are two different keys, an artifact of the differing handling of newlines by different operating systems.
