[For the sake of clarity, I'm on a Windows system, wherein I have two keys marked Enter; the one in the middle of the keyboard (aka Return on Mac), and a second, smaller Enter on the bottom-right, as part of the NumPad. To avoid confusion, I will refer to this central Enter key as "Return," and to NumPad Enter as such.]
TL;DR - would it be possible for Ctrl + Return to universally commit text edits? And/or could/should Numpad Enter be updated to also commit text edits, as it does when writing in the expression editor?

When entering type into a text layer, you're able to press Ctrl + Return to commit the text edit, returning the selection to the layer itself. (Return, Alt + Return and Shift + Return all create line breaks.) Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a way to commit when editing that same Source Text input in the Essential Graphics panel, or when editing this text (as an Essential Property) in the Properties Panel. In either panel, pressing Return, Ctrl + Return or Shift + Return all create line breaks, while Alt + Return does nothing. In either panel, pressing Ctrl or Shift + Numpad Enter create line breaks, while both Numpad Enter or Alt + Numpad Enter do nothing.
While obviously not the same, you're able to simply press Return to commit edits to property names in the Essential Graphics panel.
