+## 📌 Description
+Implemented functionality that allows the user to start the typing test by pressing the `Enter` (`<Return>`) key instead of clicking the "Start Test" button with the mouse. This enables a more seamless and intuitive typing test workflow without taking hands off the keyboard.
+
+## 🔗 Related Issue
+Closes #61
+
+## 🛠 Changes Made
+- Bound the `<Return>` key to check if `self.start_button` is enabled.
+- Invokes `self.start_test()` if it is safe to start the test.
+
+## 📷 Screenshots (if applicable)

+## ✅ Checklist
