I am trying to use the Chrome virtual keyboard along with a text input field in the Dashboard. I set the Delay parameter to 0 so that the node will not send a message until the Enter key has been pressed. This works fine with the regular keyboard, but when using the virtual keyboard, no message is sent when pressing the Enter key. If I set delay to a non-zero value, a message is sent with each key press both for normal and virtual keyboard. I checked to see if the virtual keyboard sends different codes from the normal keyboard when pressing Enter using [www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/ascii](https://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/ascii) but they both seem to send CR LF. Any ideas?  
I am using Node Red V2.2.0 on Pi 4, Windows 10 Chrome browser
