How to detect Keycode.Return using an Android bluetooth keyboard?

Question

I am working on an in game console for Android, working with bluetooth keyboards. I want to send console inputs by pressing the return key on the bluetooth keyboard. However I am running into trouble detecting the keypress.

I am using the following code to debug keypresses from the bluetooth keyboard:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class PrintKeyInputs : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public Text TextField;
 
     void Update()
     {
         foreach(KeyCode kcode in Enum.GetValues(typeof(KeyCode)))
         {
             if (Input.GetKeyDown(kcode))
                 TextField.text = "KeyCode down: " + kcode;
                 Debug.Log("KeyCode down: " + kcode);
         }
     }
 }

Pressing the return key doesn't return anything on kcode.

Any ideas how to get the return keypress?

Okay so I'have figured it out myself. The bluetooth keyboard doesn't return Keycode.Return on pressing the return key. It sends Keycode.10. I am not sure if this is a bug, I didn't have the chance to test it with with other keyboards. However I made it work with this solution:

 public class InputFieldActivator : MonoBehaviour
 {
     KeyCode BluetoothReturn = (KeyCode)10;
 
     void Update()
     {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(BluetoothReturn))
         {
             // Do something
         }
     }
 }
