A typist can use the Enter key to indicate many options, including 'okay', 'go', 'save' and otherwise proceed, when working on an interactive Web page.

When typing into a software program such as a word processor, a spreadsheet and so forth, a typist can use the enter key to move to the next line, the next cell and so forth.

In pocket calculator-like programs (for example, Microsoft Calculator for Windows users), the enter key of the numeric keypad acts like the equal to (=) button to obtain the result of the previously entered operations.

Usually the default button on a form is highlighted, giving a subtle visual clue that the user has the option of clicking the button or simply pressing Enter.

In modern word processing applications, pressing the return key ends a paragraph and starts a new one. Spacing between the paragraphs can be defined through paragraph styles. Some people, however, tend to misuse the return key by pressing it two or more times in order to get extra space between paragraphs (in reality, this inserts blank paragraphs, which is not the right way to use a word processor). In contrast, using the return key to space paragraphs in plain text files is normal.
