alt Hacker NewsEvery Apple keyboard, even the iPhone I’m typing this comment on, has had a Return key. Only the Num Pad has an Enter key on Apple’s keyboards.

oh, thanks for the fact check. I guess it's obvious which computing ecosystem I never touch :)

And Fn+Return can be used for Enter if the keyboard doesn't have a Num Pad, for the few Applications that use it.

Wow, throwback to running MacScheme (I think) on the university's Macs in a computer lab in the mid-90s. It interpreted main keyboard Return differently from numpad Enter, which to me (coming from the Amiga) was very confusing.
If I recall correctly, only Return caused an evaluation attempt, while Enter merely added a line break for readability.
