Keyboard events with kivy

I'm trying to create an app where the user can type some text in a TextInput, and press a button to register the data. Is it possible to bind the Enter key, so the user can just press it inside the Text Input and it calls the register function?

If it's a single line TextInput you can you can set the TextInput.multiline property to False then the Enter key emits a TextInput.on_text_validate() event. For example:

from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
textinput = TextInput(text='Hello world')

def on_enter(instance, value):
    print('User pressed enter in', instance)

textinput = TextInput(text='Hello world', multiline=False)
textinput.bind(on_text_validate=on_enter)

This is in Kivy's TextInput documentation.
