Related introduction:

At first, the typing position on the typewriter was fixed, and the return and wrapping wrench was used to move the carriage carrying the paper drum to the far right so that the printing position was aligned at the beginning of the line, while turning the drum to the next line. Later, when the typewriter drum is no longer moved horizontally, the typewriter cart (print head carriage) is moved back to the starting position of the line.

The term Carriage Return "homing" is a control character of the Baudot code (Baudot Code) used in a telex printer (TTY), which represents a return to the beginning of a line of words, but not a newline (or progressive).

The home button first appeared on Smith Corona's electric typewriter in 1960. This key is generally labeled "Carriage Return" or "Return". Typewriters published later are often marked with the "↵" symbol to help non-English speaking users learn to type.

About the origin of the "enter key", we have to start with the mechanical English typewriter. On the mechanical English typewriter, there is a part called "word car". For every character (originally a word, but I think it should be a character here), "word car" advances one frame. After typing a line of characters, the typist has to push the "word car" to the starting position, and the typist has two actions in response: one is that the "word car" is returned, and the other is that the drum rolls up a line in order to start typing the next line. This action to push the "word car" is called "enter". Later, on the electric English typewriter, people added a key that directly played the role of "enter". This new key is called the "enter key".

On the computer keyboard, the words "CR" and "RETURN" were once used on the "enter key", but it was only later that they were uniformly defined as "Enter".
