I want my UI/UX to be convenient for my users, so I want to make it so that the text input return key is linked to a button so when it is pressed, it is like the button is also being pressed, and the code in that button click is executed. Or I want to make it so that the text input return key can do an action instead of only dismissing the keyboard or adding a line. Is there a way to do any of these two? Anybody’s help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 🙂

Yes Use the submit or unfocus event and a function.  
Create a function with your code.  
And put it onClick, Submit or unfocus
