Enter was called "return"..and you know why? Typewriters...carriage return, if you have already functions why no use it? You want a Copy/Paste button too?

Some keyboards tailored for office applications do have copy/paste/help/browse the internet/launch spreadsheet keys.

Enter and return, while often interchangeable are not always and some keyboards have separate enter and return keys.

Also, some keyboards like sun's and some serial terminals had dedicated copy, paste, &c.
