Why won't my if result to true?

Question

Please help me understand what I am doing wrong.

T$$anonymous$$s

 Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return && Event.current.type == EventType.keyDown

results to true when I $$anonymous$$t enter both outside and inside my TextArea

And t$$anonymous$$s GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() == "textField" results to true when I focus on my textArea Set to "textField"

but when I do t$$anonymous$$s

 (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return && Event.current.type == EventType.keyDown && GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() == "textField")

Not$$anonymous$$ng... Never gets set to true when I $$anonymous$$t enter in my textField. I don't understand.

When you $$anonymous$$t enter on a textfield, the event has already been "used" by the control by the time it gets to OnGUI, so instead of getting a keyDown event, you'll get a used event instead.

Try changing your code to:

 if (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return && Event.current.type == EventType.used && GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() == "textField") 
 ...
