Great news ! My sincere congratulations for you and
your work.
About your enquiry about how find a difference between the ENTER and RETURN
keys... I think that it would be possible to do it checking the keyboard
'scancode'. This is a concept from the early times of the PC but I suppose
that some applications have been using this technique even nowadays. It
must be easy to get some examples of use.
The PC keyboard only has one combined "enter/return" key; the UNIX PC
has separate ones. The problem is that we have to somehow control a UNIX
PC with a PC keyboard -- when the UNIX PC keyboard has more keys than
the IBM PC.
