Facts
MC9090
Root Cause
By default the Enter key is assigned as a special function key.
Resolution
There is a registry key that will change the Enter key into a line feed.
1. To change the definition of the Enter key to generate a linefeed character, create a registry file with the following entry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"SpecialEnterTabKey" = dword:0
2. Copy the file to the \Platform folder on the MC9090.
3. Tap on .reg file to merge the changes.
4. Warm boot the MC9090.
Note: The default value of this key is 1, which sends an extra character before and after the return key, causing applications to exit.
