I remember back in the day I had a demo disc where one of the installers (I think it was Theme Park?) had a prompt of "Press return to quit, press enter to continue". And that confused single-digit-years me for a surprising amount of time, as there wasn't, to my mind, a real difference between the two keys.
Even then I assume it was really a troll as much as anything else.
- Doxin 1y agoPerhaps a confused translation of escape/enter happening there? I don't think there's many (if any) PCs with both a return key and an enter key.
- brianpan 1y agoMy experience is with IBM AT and OS 2 which had a Return and a numpad with an Enter. The AT and Model M keyboard at least were part of a very popular and influential generation or two of "PC". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard EDIT: Holy cow, those Model M pictures are so nostalgic.
- kimixa 1y agoNo, I definitely remember it behaving differently if I pressed "return" (right of "#" on the keyboard) vs "enter" (on the numpad). EDIT: In the US I guess that's right of "'"? Below backspace, above the right shift. The reason I remember is it took me quite a while to actually run the damn thing :P
