Describe the bug
On the PS4 default browser there appears to be no working "return" key and the "done" button does not work as expected to enter text - see attached image. I'm not sure whether it is a bug with OGS but it may well be so I am reporting it.

To Reproduce
Go to "www" on a PS4 and browse to online-go.com. Play a game - you're on TV!
Notice that you are restricted to using the canned responses and are unable to enter text freely - how frustrating!

Expected behavior
The "done" button should work as the return / enter key.
Alternatively, one of the blank keys to the left of "done" could be set as the "enter" key.

Screenshots
See attached image.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
PlayStation 4 model PS4-251
System software 6.72
I think the browser is similar to Safari, see linked lifewire article: https://www.lifewire.com/ps4-web-browser-4134707

Thanks!

I think the keyboard is an element of PS4 and not OGS. How do you submit text on other websites?

Good question @BHydden. On other sites there is a return key - see attached screenshot from Discord for instance. That is why I think there might be something on the OGS end that needs to be done to set up the onscreen keyboard correctly.

https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps4/basic/osk.html says you can use R2 to press the enter button - does that work?

There seems to be a serious lack of documentation regarding anything to do with anything special one needs to do for the ps4 and html. On account of this, and that I don't have a PS4 to test with, I'm going to close this issue. I'd be happy to accept a PR from someone who feels like figuring out how to do whatever we need to do. Until then, R2 hopefully?

I tested it, R2 closes the on-screen keyboard but does not enter the text :-(

Thanks for looking into it :-)
