Try to use keyup enter but make sure to use it inside your input tag  lt input   matInput   placeholder  quot enter key word quot      ngModel    quot keyword quot     keyup enter   quot addToKeywords   quot    gt

Another alternative can be to execute the Keydown or KeyUp in the tag of the Form  lt form name  quot nameForm quot   formGroup   quot groupForm quot   keydown enter   quot executeFunction   quot   gt

You could also use a dummy form arround it like    lt mat-card-footer gt   lt form  submit   search ref  id  forename  surname  postcode   action     gt     lt button mat-raised-button type  submit  class  successButton  id  invSearch  title  Click to perform search    gt Search lt  button gt   lt  form gt   lt  mat-card-footer gt    the search function has to return false to make sure that the action doesn t get executed  Just make sure the form is focused  should be when you have the input in the form  when you press enter
