Enter key to set Away msg

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere.

In .77, when I'd press cmd-Y to bring up the Away Message editor I could type in (or choose) my away message and press Enter to set it (not the return key, the Enter key). Now when I press cmd-Y to bring up Custom Status, pressing Enter simply does what it would do in a text editor-moves to the next line of text. I'd like to have Enter press the default button (OK) to set the status message.

This is the same convention I follow w/ my IMs: Return to move to next line and Enter to send IM.

The enter key next to the apple key seems to work just fine for this.

Indeed it does, Mystery Girl. I guess I'll have to get used to pressing this extra key... but it works. Thanks.

Cmd+Return works as well.

[Edit: Changed "Enter" to "Return" for maxiumum clarity.]

I believe that's what she said. At least, that's what I took it to mean.

I think she was referring to the numeric pad enter rather than the return key on the main keyboard. On Macs there's a difference between return and enter, though most programs these days treat them as the same key.

In which case for clarity I should have said Cmd+Return. In fact, I'll edit my post so others won't be confused.

And this is what I was referring to in the first place. I like using Enter to set away and Return to move to next line.

I also said I like to use Enter to send IMs and Return to move to next line in case I want to IM someone a list.
