Is there any ootb functionality to support enter keypress in a section to simulate button click action
We have a custom section where we provide the search functionality with Case ids etc. The screen has two buttons, "Search" and "Clear". The Search button , when clicked searches in the DB for a case with the given search criteria . We would like to provide the support of enter key press in this screen. Once the user hits Enter key, the "Search" button click action should take place. I know this could be achieved using custom javascript but I would like to know if there is any OOTB control or functionality available to support this feature.I am using PRPC 6.2 SP2

Do you want the enter key to submit the search when the focus is in one of the text input areas?
If you are using autogenerated controls then could you configure the keyboard actions on the input field(s) to perform the same actinos as the search button?
E.g. on a pxTextInput field I can configure a Keyaboard / Enter action:
