I think I'd agreee with the other poster that its more likely to be
something else which happens when you press Enter rather than the keyboard
itself.  If you want to test this you could try putting a language ROM
together which just repeatedly reads characters from the keyboard using OS
routines and prints them - but doesn't try to do anything more fancy.
