Thanks Marielle for sharing the file here - since you're doing what looks like a simulation, this may not work for you as I was describing, But if you were to take the text entry box on slide 3 and expand it to be larger than one line of text, the user would press the enter key and it would bring the user to the next line where they could keep entering text vs. submitting the interaction. Otherwise there isn't a way around the enter key behavior.

Yes it's a simulation.

Sometime the user should press the Entrer key but sometime he sould to click on a specific spot.

So if I expand my entry box, when he gonna press Entrer key it would bring the user to the next line on the same entry box. For sumbit interaction the user sould to press on specific spot, for exemple.

Hi Marielle,

Correct - if the text entry box is expanded to accommodate more than one line of text, than when the user clicks enter they'll be brought to the next line vs. submitting the interaction. You could set up the triggers to submit the interaction based on where they click, but if the user keeps clicking enter in that text entry box, and there isn't room to accommodate more than one line, the user submit the interaction with the enter key. This is described in a bit more indepth here.
