In IB’s library, the introduction tells us that when the return key is pressed, the keyboard for UITextView will disappear. But actually the return key can only act as ‘\n’.

I can add a button and use [txtView resignFirstResponder] to hide the keyboard.

But is there a way to add the action for the return key in keyboard so that I needn’t add UIButton?

Figured I would post the snippet right here instead:

Make sure you declare support for the UITextViewDelegate protocol.

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {

    if() {
        [textView resignFirstResponder];
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}

Swift 4.0 update:

func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
    if text == "\n" {
        textView.resignFirstResponder()
        return false
    }
    return true
}
