Make Command-Return submit your web form

Hello, I just wanted to say that if you want your web app to feel Cool and Modern, one of the easiest things you can do is make it so that Mac users can hit command-return anywhere in the form to submit it.

Some web sites map this to control-enter for other platforms, and that's fine, but I don't bother. Truth be told, I used to bother, but after adding it to a few web apps years ago, I actually had multiple Windows and Linux users complain to me about unintended form submissions.

I am not making a comment on the sophistication of non-Apple users, but I am saying that if you just stick this code at the top of your app, it will make it more Exclusive and feel Snappier and I will thank you for it.

Here, just copy and paste this. Don't even bother reading it first:

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
  if (event.key === 'Enter' && event.metaKey) {
    if (!document.activeElement) return
    const closestForm = document.activeElement.closest('form')
    if (closestForm) {
      event.preventDefault()
      closestForm.requestSubmit()
    }
  }
})
