Description
I'am trying to capture event on enter, but my listeners are catching all key presses except for enter key.
Guess the event is used internally and prevented for outside use.
I have this listener event configured to my window(keydown):
keyDownEvent = (event) => {
if (event.key === "Enter" && (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey)) {
this.send();
}
};
all other key-presses are captured except for enter, when I'm typing inside the editor.
The event is prevented inside the component.

Research direction
Start by tracing the window keydown listener and the editor component handling Enter, then identify where the event is prevented internally. Reproduce the issue with Enter and Ctrl or Meta while typing in the editor, and verify that the external listener receives it without breaking the editor's existing behavior.
