How to make it go when i press enter

[oblivimix95]

@goliprop Private Sub Button1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventA­­rgs) Handles Button1.KeyDown  If e.KeyData = Keys.Enter Then Button1.PerformClick() e.SuppressKeyPress = True End If End Sub

Button1 is the Go Key in this example. Also take note that YouTube's comment system might mess up the code's arrangement. If thats the case, you gotta figure out the rest by yourself.

[Drakokaleb]

how do you make enter a hotkey for the "go" and "search" button ?

[oblivimix95]

@Drakokaleb also take note because YouTube's comment system might messed the arrangement of the code, you might have to figure out the rest by yourself if thats the case.
