Keyboard shortcut to finish entry (i.e. enter)

Need some keyboard shortcut to complete entering an item on a mac. If I enter something quickly and press enter it works well, but if I am editing something existing (a small typo for example) or go into any nuances about the item, it's less obvious how to quickly close out of and complete. I have to mouse over and there is not keyboard shortcut. It would ideally be really easy to just edit the text of an entry without having to open a whole separate screen and then toggle back

    **Hardware Enter doesn't submit on Android with physical keyboard**

    With a physical/Bluetooth keyboard on Android, pressing Enter inserts a newline in every field of the entry form instead of submitting. The on-screen keyboard's action button works, but hardware Enter takes the raw key-event path which isn't handled.

    Workaround one reporter is using: a key remapper that simulates a tap on the submit button.

    Do you mean on the entry detail screen, i.e. a shortcut to go back from that screen?

      Thank you Hamish! Absolutely love and appreciate what you are doing with this app! Yep, I mean the entry detail screen. If I just type text and press enter it submits cleanly, but if I adjust any other parameters, I have to mouse over to the tiny submit button on the upper right each time. Editing the item text directly from whatever view I was in, without any detail pop up screen might be the smoothest experience by far, though even in that case some sort of “enter” keyboard shortcut to complete is ideal.
