The HIG states:
-----
Enter
Most applications add information to a document as soon as the user enters it. In some cases, however, the application may need to wait until a whole collection of information is available before processing it. The Enter key tells the application that the user has finished entering information in a particular area of the document, such as a text field. While the user is entering text into a text document, pressing Enter has no effect.
-----
But, what I have noticed is that both Pages and Keynote treat the enter key just like the return key when entering text, which seems to go against the HIG.
Omni's software and GraphicConverter, for example, appear to follow the HIG with respect to the Enter key.
I am just wondering what the right thing to do here is...?
Based on the HIG, it would appear there is the same bug in Pages and Keynote ('09)....or, should the HIG be updated?
I'll file a bug as soon as I can figure out what the right thing to do is._______________________________________________
