That is already the default browser behavior. Ctrl+Enter for Windows/Linux and ⌘+Enter for Mac. There is one requisite: You have to put the form fields in a <form> tag for that to work.
Hi @twolfosn,
For your example, ⌘+Enter does nothing for me on my Mac, using latest Chrome. CTRL-Enter, does seem to submit the form. Do you have any links to spec or docs that show this to be the default behavior across browsers?
Also, the solution I presented above handles the case of textarea and select elements - does the default behavior you mentioned handle those?
Ah, I must have been mistaken then. I am glad to hear Ctrl+Enter still works for form submission.
Unfortunately, a quick Google search does not turn up any results. It seems to be something I have picked up over the years.
The solution above should be applicable to any elements inside of a form (e.g. textarea, select, input[type=*]).
