A bit quirky, but no icon for enter key in font-awesome or material-icons libraries? Actually funny... there is backspace, space bar, etc., but no enter key symbol at all!?

Sounds like a plan! The question then is, can I get 'you' guys to update the icons embedded in NR?

Font awesome - no, material - maybe in dashboard

Though how about using fa-level-down fa-rotate-90

For now just using the long left arrow (i.e. fa-long-arrow-left) since it is close to a true return key symbol.

you could always use text `↲` ([ref](https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/unicode/U+21B2))

A text literal.... Geez, that is true. See what one gets when one has an iconic-ally stereo-typical bias? Still not a great match, since the vertical is a bit long, where a true enter has a long horizontal. My keyboard as a long horizontal and short vertical segments. I mean it is just odd to me, that you have all these text editing icons, but none for 'enter' proper.
