**Hey @dami_flepp,**  
_Would you be a bit specific about your project, do you wanna make a text input every time a user clicks return or enter? And also have a button with the function of saving the text-input(‘s’) value(s)?_  
**Or do you want the enter/return key to work also as a DONE ?** 🤔

Hi @browncoatjustice52  
I got a Textinput where the user puts in a long text, therefor i set it to multiline.

if you press return in a single line textinput, the keyboard disapears and you see your screen with the insert text in the textinput component. I want the same to happen to a multiline textinput, but if you press return it creates a new line insted.

Why don’t you make the height and width to fit contents…  
And usually if you use return on a computer nothing actually happens the txt input outputs **nothing**.  
If the user wants to make his text appear on a new line he/she can use the spacebar until you are at the edge of a line, then write whatever they want…  
This has worked for me 🤠

Still deosn’t work. 🤔

(If got a long text and the widith is set to fit content in a single line input, you won’t see all the text. this is why I need multiline)

**Ok…ok so you need to put a button with the function of saving the text, according to me there’s no propertie/component to function the return/enter button so that it does a particular task**

_P.S. But if you use a IDE (Except Thunkable) you can program it to do this._
