Enter key not detected in key event

[martinohanlon]

guizero simply returns what was is given to it by tkinter (the underlying GUI framework). If tkinter doesnt return these characters then there probably isnt a lot which can be done.

https://github.com/lawsie/guizero/blob/master/guizero/event.py#L33

The event object return also includes the underlying tk_event object which you may be able to interrogate to get at the non-printing characters. e.g.

 def enterKeyClicked(event):
    print("tk event object", event.tk_event)

app = App()

textbox = TextBox(app)
textbox.when_key_pressed = enterKeyClicked

app.display()

You can get the keycode from the tk_event which includes non-printing charactors.

from guizero import App, TextBox

def enterKeyClicked(event):
    print("keycode:" + str(event.tk_event.keycode))

app = App()

textbox = TextBox(app)
textbox.when_key_pressed = enterKeyClicked

app.display()

Suggest we add tk_event.keycode to the guizero event object at some point. Its a minor change to the event.EventData object.
