I have a custom form created. Is there any way to configure typing enter on the keyboard to be recognized as a button click?
What would be a use case?
You cannot have action on typing, but you can control what is typed
Hi @Uzo, thanks for commenting.
The idea is for users to be able to add charges. Charges have multiple fields, name, quantity, and price is what we need from the user. Most of the time, the user will be entering in multiple charges in unison, so the use case is to be able to add these charges quickly, by not needing to manually click the ‘add’ button, and instead hit ‘enter’ on their keyboard.
I’m using a custom form, and not the default form.
But how will you know that they have finished typing? Hitting enter will add a new line in the text field… so… that will not work…
You can calculate all entered fields… and have a live display of the results wile typing… but in some point they will have to hit submit button
The fields are: choice, and 2 number fields. So no text field.
If the submit button is not an option… then the only solution will be to have a web view component with the… Google web app in it, and use a combination of javascript and HTML code to recognize enter hit to jump to the following field… that will require building custom entry fields and fetching data back into Glide.
I did not know webview was a feature!

Your proposed option sounds quite complex to save a user an average of 2 seconds for every entry. Thank you for the suggestion, nonetheless!
2 seconds for each??? All they need to do is click the following field… and, at the end, the submit button.
And yes… my solution is very complicated… i hope one day Glide will give the option to utilize enter key as a next field jump. That would be very useful for entering lots of data.
