'Selenium IDE : How to press 'Enter' once text is entered in the search field using

I am using Selenium IDE 2.9.1 + FireFox 52.0.1. I have a data table with search fields.

Once I enter text in the search field which command should I use to simulate a user pressing Enter (submit to search this text in the data table).

Here is how I accomplish this with Selenium IDE

Command: sendKeys

Target:

Value: UTF for Enter - U+E007

You can use keypress command to stimulate the button events. Below is an example of searching test string in google. You should specify the field's selector in the keypress event. Here \13 is the ASCII value of Enter Key.

<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>id=lst-ib</td>
<td>test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>keyPress</td>
<td>id=lst-ib</td>
<td>\13</td>
</tr>

I'll mirror what's been said above, but, the best bet here is to use SENDKEYS and get the actual ID of the element from the DOM to pass in as the identifier (:value)
