There was some talk not too long ago about keyboard-only commits in the Subversion bundle [1]. Chris Thomas said he would set up the Enter key (not to be confused with the Return key) to act as the commit button. However, this only works if you have an Apple keyboard. Some of us (hint, hint) use non-Apple keyboards, and even the ones that are designed for the Mac (they have a little Apple icon on the command keys, for instance) may not have an Enter key [2]. Is there anything that can be done to accommodate us?

Maybe you missed the year of the letter. It was more than a year ago! ;)

So what does the enter key send on your non-Apple keyboard? I seem to be able to spot one on the linked-to Logitech keyboard.
Did you try toggling numlock? I have heard some Mac-users say that this would affect how the Mac interpreted keys on the numeric keypad (when they used a third party keyboard).
You can dump all the info sent from pressing the key e.g. using this program: http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=keycodes

Ah, well, you know how time flies when you're using TextMate.

Hmm, I never realized the two Enter keys returned different key codes. On the Logitech keyboards (even the Mac-specific S390), they're both labeled Enter, but on the Apple keyboards they're called Enter and Return. But the two Logitech keys give different keycodes, just like the Apple ones, so...problem solved!
