I had a similar problem.

This wasn't working: pyautogui.write('enter')

But this worked: pyautogui.write(['enter'])

I'm using VS Code on Windows 10.

Cheers.

I had a problem like you,but i solved it by turning the keyboard language from Chinese to English ,so the enter_press is useful to send message but not write message

on windows I could never get Pyautogui key presses to work. I had to use pywinauto instead. I would still use pyautogui for finding images and typing our characters but used pywinauto to press keys.

from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys
send_keys('{ENTER}')

Use pyautogui.press(“enter”) or pyautogui.hotkey(“enter”)

for pressing 3 times: use pyautogui.press(“enter”, presses=3) or

for i in range(3):
    pyautogui.press(“enter”)

for pressing lots of keys:

pyautogui.press([“enter”, “shift”])

or

for key in [“enter”, “shift”]:
    pyautogui.press(key)

dispatch user holding down the key until keyup:

pyautogui.keyDown(“enter”)

and for keyup:

pyautogui.keyUp(“enter”)

and also one thing, if you’re used keyDown, you can still use pyautogui.press(“enter”) too :D

Short answer

pyautogui.press('enter')

or

pyautogui.write('\n')

source

If not working, could be because the mouse cursor is not on the desired place, maybe you would need to first click over the app you want to enter with for example pyautogui.click(100, 200); where (100,200) are the X,Y coordinates of screen, you will need to locate where do you need that enter.
