you can use keypress() with jquery, like this :

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
    if(e.which == 13) {
        console.log("2");
    }
});

This should do what you want:

$('body').keyup(function(e){
   if(e.which == 13 && $('#yourText').is(':focus')){
     console.log("do your thing");
   }
});
