How do I set the "Enter" key as a hotkey?

[[Reece]]

The Manual[www.leppsoft.com] says
"Hotkeys can be
single keys, e.g. F1, S, Enter"
But when I try to use Enter as a hotkey, it just closes the dialogue box. Any way to get around this?

`Enter` key in soundpad is a predefined key for setting hotkeys
However, you can set hotkey to `Enter` by changing sound list file:

1. Go to File -> Save sounds lists as... to save your current configuration.
   
2. Open the configuration using text editor (usually has a `.spl` postfix, `e.g. myList.spl`).
   
3. Find the sound you want to set hotkey `Enter`, add/change the attribution `keyModifiers="0"` and `key="13"`, 13 is the control key code of `Enter` key. In my case, I will have

   <Sound hash="3832027255-196608-619619" url="Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Soundpad\sounds\scream.mp3" artist="" title="scream" duration="" keyModifiers="0" key="13" addedOn="2024-03-18"/>

4. Save the file and load it from soundpad, now you can see the `Enter` hotkey
