I’m using katalon recorder chrome extension to record my testcase. I want to record my keyboard enter keypress. however the recorder is not recording my enter keypress and there is not enough documentation on how to add a enter keypress in **katalon**  **recorder**. I have tried **sendkeys** keyword but its not working. Any easier way to do this?
