For angular 6 there is a new way of doing it  On your input tag add    keyup enter   keyUpFunction  event     Where keyUpFunction  event  is your function

User · Answer

Use  keyup enter    Angular can filter the key events for us  Angular has a special syntax for keyboard events  We can listen for just the Enter key by binding to Angular s keyup enter pseudo-event

What personally me fount usable for me is   mousedown   quot callEvent   quot   keyup enter   quot  event preventDefault    keyup enter prevents the event from triggering on keyup  but it still occurs for keydown  that works for me

User · Answer

Here is the correct SOLUTION  Since the button doesn t have a defined attribute type  angular maybe attempting to issue the keyup event as a submit request and triggers the click event on the button    lt button type  button      gt  lt  button gt    Big thanks to DeborahK   Angular2 - Enter Key executes first  click  function present on the form
