In unhandled Enter contexts the keypress may still be dropped, and the implementation relies on an internal editor-observer API, leaving limited compatibility risk.

On Android, prosemirror-view deliberately bails out of its keydown handling: the IME reports composing keys as keyCode 229, so the key identity can't be trusted. Enter therefore never reached the keymap and pressing it did nothing — no new block, no list continuation. `beforeinput` carries the intent unambiguously (`insertParagraph` / `insertLineBreak`) regardless of what the IME reports, so the shortcuts extension intercepts it there and runs the same keymap command. Only on Android, and only when not composing, so every other platform keeps the existing path. This also unblocks running the core behavioural suites under Android emulation. They were held out of the android instance in the test-infra change precisely because of this bug — every test that presses Enter to make a second block failed there — so the instance's include list grows here, where it can be green.
The beforeinput interception only covers the IME path. With a hardware or synthetic keyboard, Enter arrives as a keypress instead — and prosemirror-view's own keypress handler cancels the browser default for cross-block selections without doing anything in their place (its cross-parent branch skips newline characters), so Enter over a selection spanning two blocks was a silent no-op. Intercepting keypress too closes that hole, and the two paths now share one `dispatchSynthesizedEnter` helper rather than repeating the flush-then- synthesize sequence. The `domObserver` reach-through is typed against `EditorView` instead of `typeof view`. Test coverage goes from one path to three — keypress, beforeinput, and the cross-block selection — and `Check Enter when selection is not empty` no longer has to be skipped on the android instance, which is the suite-level proof that the keypress hole is closed. Also makes `Check Delete before shallower block` deterministic: it relied on ArrowUp's goal-x landing on a particular side of a character boundary, which varies with subpixel metrics and had been flaking across engines.
The popover form-submission tests exist because of Android bugs, yet only ran on the desktop engines. The android instance is chromium, so even the CDP composition tests run there; the keyboardhandlers and emojipicker suites join for their distinct consumers of Enter handling. All pass under the emulation.
The shared browser setup forced its 1280x720 iframe onto every project — on the android instance (a 393x727 phone window) the harness then scaled that desktop-width iframe down to fit, so every suite without its own per-test viewport was silently testing desktop layout, optically shrunk. Positional input was displaced by the same transform, which had been misread as 'mouse idioms don't translate to touch emulation'. The setup now sizes the iframe per project. Touch emulation also gets self-healing: Chromium's beyond-viewport screenshot capture (captureBeyondViewport, sent by Playwright for any element taller than the viewport) can silently drop the context's touch emulation. A restoreTouchEmulation command (persistent CDP session — Emulation overrides revert when their session detaches) re-arms it before every android test, and ensureTouchEmulation runs as an automatic assertion right after, so no suite calls it manually anymore. The assert stays because it guards a different failure than the heal: the mechanism itself breaking (provider contextOptions silently ignored, an upgrade rewiring the provider). At true geometry the include list is re-grounded on one principle, stated per entry in the config: a suite runs on this instance when it can go red for a mobile-conditional reason no other suite here pins. form/ drops out — its popover suite drives the desktop link toolbar (hover, clipped at phone width) and its Enter mechanics are pinned red-first by mobile/ and keyboardhandlers/. copypaste/ drops out — the clipboard path has no platform conditionals at all, and its Enter presses are setup scaffolding for routes androidEnter pins directly. emojipicker/ stays: Enter-to-select goes through the suggestion menu's own key handling, a distinct consumer of the synthesized-Enter route.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Return the keymap result instead of always returning true.
dispatchSynthesizedEnter discards the value returned by view.someProp("handleKeyDown", ...). handleKeyPress then returns true even when no handler handled the Enter. In that case prosemirror-view cancels the keypress and the Enter is dropped, so the browser default never runs. Propagate the handler result for the keypress path. Keep true for the beforeinput path, because that path already calls preventDefault().

Top of the stack, on #3030. Fixes #3001.
The bug
On Android, prosemirror-view deliberately bails out of keydown handling (the IME reports composing keys as keyCode 229, so key identity can't be trusted) — Enter never reached the keymap. Its DOM-diffing fallback fails to recognize the split in BlockNote's nested block DOM and corrupts the document instead: Enter inserting a space, doing nothing, or breaking tables.
The fix
Two interception points in
KeyboardShortcutsExtension, Android-only, sharing onedispatchSynthesizedEnterhelper (which restores the pre-keydown DOM flush prosemirror-view's bail skips, so the keymap never runs against a stale selection):beforeinput(insertParagraph/insertLineBreak): the IME path — the intent arrives unambiguously regardless of what the keyboard reports.keypress: the hardware/synthetic keyboard path. prosemirror-view's own keypress handler cancels the browser default for cross-block selections without doing anything in their place, so Enter over a selection spanning blocks was a silent no-op.Tests
androidEnter.test.tsxcovers three routes: keypress, the synthetic beforeinput-without-keypress sequence (only a real IME produces it, so it's dispatched as a syntheticInputEvent— proven red with the interception removed), and cross-block selections.Check Enter when selection is not emptythere is the suite-level proof the keypress hole is closed. A follow-up commit then fixes the instance itself: the shared setup had been forcing a scaled desktop-width iframe onto it (displacing positional input — long misread as "mouse idioms don't translate"), so it now tests true phone geometry with self-healing touch emulation, and the include list is grounded per entry on one principle — a suite runs there when it can go red for a mobile-conditional reason no other suite pins (form/ and copypaste/ dropped under that bar).beforeinput: insertParagraph; AOSP LatinIME sends 229 + a real keydown — discovered by pressing the emulator's on-screen Enter). Each variant is pinned red-first inandroidEnter.test.tsx; the device suite that made the discovery is parked onmobile/emulator-layer(test(device): local emulator layer — real Chrome/Gboard as normal CI #3034).Summary by CodeRabbit
