Why didn’t Scratch add “enter”key?

It is on Turbowarp.
The enter key still works on Scratch with a hack:

<key (join [enter] []) pressed?>

It might be preference as to why it's not listed. I could be wrong.

It still works, using the above method.
You can also hack it into a block, so

when [enter v] key pressed
<key [enter v] pressed?>

can exist.

Probably a carryover from the old 1.x days when pressing the enter key was equivalent to pressing the green flag button.

You learn something new everyday

when [ enterv] key pressed

⬇️

when green flag clicked
if <key [ (join [enter] [])] pressed?> then

end

You can use this as a replacement:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key (join (enter) ()) pressed> then
do whatever you want
end
end

you must add on the outside of all your code
you must also add brackets on the outside of your text fields to make a string, () makes a variable

I mean, I knew that, but I thought that it still could've been added (I don't mean in like 1.x, but now)

Can’t speak for the Design or Engineering team, but Scratch is backwards-compatible, so that may have something to do with it. No one’s stopping people from making a suggestion to have it added, though (if a thread doesn’t exist for it already)
