Are you using Tkinter? If so, then you are probably creating your 'OK'
button something like this:

OKButton = Button(commandFrame, text='OK', command=OKButtonClick)

With 'OKButtonClick' referring to the function that you want invoked when
the user clicks the OK button. If you want the return key to do the same
thing, you want to bind the '<Return>' event to the same function, which
will look something like this:

root.bind('<Return>', OKButtonClick)

In the above, I have bond this event for a widget called 'root' - you'll
need to experiment to find out which widget you need to bind it for.

See
