How to display enter key in iOS keypad for textView (objective c)

Question

I want to display enter key on keyboard instead of return key. Because i want user to type in a texView. We know that there is no keypad return in textView. Generally, i want to replace the "return" key with "enter". Normally in textView, the return key works as enter. So i need the return key labeled as enter. Is it possible?

Try using the returnKeyType attribute:

UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyTypeDone

Here are the available options:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, UIReturnKeyType) {
    UIReturnKeyDefault,
    UIReturnKeyGo,
    UIReturnKeyGoogle,
    UIReturnKeyJoin,
    UIReturnKeyNext,
    UIReturnKeyRoute,
    UIReturnKeySearch,
    UIReturnKeySend,
    UIReturnKeyYahoo,
    UIReturnKeyDone,
    UIReturnKeyEmergencyCall,
    UIReturnKeyContinue NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(9_0),
};

then can i add an extra attribute as UIReturnKeyEnter? – Soorej Babu Apr 06 '16 at 08:30

@soorejbabu if you see the word ENUM in a property, it means you're restricted in choices. Hence, you can only use one from the list above. I would therefore maybe use 'UIReturnKeyDone', as that's the closest one. – dpigera Apr 06 '16 at 15:31
oh... ok ok. i got it. i used the UIReturnKeyDefault. – Soorej Babu Apr 07 '16 at 11:48

You cannot set custom text for the return key on iOS. There are a number of options but those are the only ones.
