Flutter: How to detect keyboard press Enter?

TextEditingController.addListener() registers a callback for when the text changes. This seems to also be triggered by pressing the Enter button, opening/closing the keyboard (changing focus).

How do i register that it was the enter that was pressed so i can, for example, invoke an API?

The current way i achieve this is by listening on the FocusNode to detect focus change. Focus is removed from the FocusNode when pressing enter, and the keyboard closes. Is this the right way to do it?

There is a onSubmitted property which accepts a ValueChanged callback. onSubmitted is triggered once the user press done after editing.

Hope that helps!
