How to trigger event when accepting a default cell value?

My app has a range "rProductionInput" to allow operator entry of production information for each production run during their shift. I am successfully using Worksheet_Change for all the empty cells in a row to move the cursor to the right as well as other associated code I want to run.

My problem is that the last two columns of each new record are pre-filled (pre-loaded, pre-? ) with a default value based on the prior values of that row. If the user agrees with the default, they would naturally just press the Enter key to confirm. But how do I trap this keystroke - since there is no Change event?

I would like the operator's confirmation of the second-to-last value to move the cursor one cell right, and a confirm of the last value to move to activate the first cell of the next row down. So simply messing with the Application.MoveAfterReturn and Application.MoveAfterReturnDirection properties doesn't help the last cell go down and left to the first cell of the next row. Plus I prefer to not change the functionality of other worksheets they may have open. I would like to do this with VBA code.

How would you trap the Enter keystroke itself when inside range rProductionInput?

Thanks in advance for your help!
