| − | |Return and enter are usually different names for the line-break key on a keyboard. "Carriage Return" is a holdover from mechanical typewriters (returning the carriage, and therefore the printing area, to its start-of-row position), in both mechanical and electronic outputs often implicitly (or explicitly) combined with Line Feed (moving the printing zone one effective line further down, or shifting the medium a similar degree up). | + | |Return and enter are different names for the line-break key on a keyboard. |

| − | "Enter" references the wish to submit some input (e.g. the contents of the database or form field(s) just edited, or ), and is essentially synonymous with forcing the move of a cursor to a new line. Often keyboards do not even have keycap text to indicate the key called "Return", "Enter" or any other name, instead using the prominent glyph '''↵'''.

| − | In the case of describing travel (for example, at the entrance to a maze), the words ''could'' instead be described as antonyms. One can ''enter'' the maze, or ''return'' to a prior location (leaving the vicinity of the maze – if not the maze itself, if you had already entered). This may or may not be an additional intended joke, as in dialogues that ask obscure and ambiguously phrased choices such as "Do you want to end this task? [Quit]/[Cancel]”.
