I'm on a Mac and I've been using the enter key to compile for years (back
to MetaCard I think.) Are you sure it does nothing? Watch the dot in the
script tab and see if it turns green.

Hmmm... On MacOS enter does nothing. Return inserts a carriage return. I
use tab then cmd-save to format then comile the script.

Well, you learn something exceedingly simple every day. OK I get it. Enter
is the same as clicking "Apply". Very convenient! Saves time typing in the SE.
THANKS!

All.
"Enter" has always worked for me. And focus has always been required to be
in the SE for it to do so.
This seems logical to me. It would not do for actions specific to certain
spaces to be affected, or effected, when not in that space.

Do you mean does pressing the ENTER key does the same thing as clicking the
‘Apply’ button at the top left of the script editor?
The tool tip for the ‘APPLY’ button says.
‘compile and apply the current script (Enter, cmd+Return)’
I actually did not know there was a keyboard shortcut for the ‘Apply’
button. That is a handy tip.
I tried it out and at first it did not work. That time the focus was on
the script field and the text cursor was there.
If I clicked on part of the card outside of the script field then the
cmd+Return key combination worked.
If I clicked in another object like the ‘find’ text field or a handler in
the list to the left of the text field or on the ‘MatchCase’
checkbox CMD+Return would not work.
So it looks like it only works when there is no focus on a field or other
object.
In any case it sounds like a bug. The key combination should work whether
the script field has focus or not.
Since I have never used that key combo before I am not sure whether that
behaviour has changed or not.

Please note: in 9.6.9 rc 2 there is some more scriptifying of IDE stacks.
Some of them have some quirks.
It is well worth to test 9.6.2 rc 2 to catch as many as possible and report
them.
Kind regards
