The easiest way is to set your Form's AcceptButton property to your save button and you will get the 'enter to click' behavior by default. You can either set it through the designer or in you form constructor code:

this.AcceptButton = this.YourSaveButton;

Another option is to set the KeyPreview property to True on the Form. From here you can handle KeyDown events and look for the 'enter' event to handle the button click.

You can use this thread and use any keyboard shortcut including "return button"

Wrap the part you want to submit with a Panel. Then assign a DefaultButton to that Panel. Now when a user presses enter in a TextBox within that panel, the assigned button will be pressed.

<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" DefaultButton="Button1">

    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"
          ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"
          ValidationGroup="myForm"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" ValidationGroup="myForm" />

</asp:Panel>
