How do you allow users to undo actions when the application supports autosave
Many web applications adopt the ‘autosave’ design pattern for a number of different reasons. One of them is so that changes are not lost when users have completed a number of tasks or actions and forgets to save, another is w…
Flexible design for a general form facility
I’m designing a general form facility – so when a customer comes in and requires certain forms to be made, then our engineers have customizable tools to create a form for that customer. My design goal is that no matter what f…
Why are X, Y and Z axes represented by Red, Green, and Blue?
It is pretty standard that 3d axis, XYZ, is represented as red green blue, respectively. Why is this and who first proposed the colors in that configuration?

Is there any use case (except submitting a blurred input) when you can’t do without visible SUBMIT button for a form?
I don’t want to waste limited screen space for duplicated elements, so I want to ask: can you imagine a situation when the client demands to see a visible SUBMIT/GO!/OK button that is placed somewhere near the input?
- If you use a physical keyboard, you probably don’t want to switch to mouse, point to a button on the screen and click it.
- If you use a keyboard on a touchscreen, you probably expect it to have an ENTER key for doing an implicit submission.
- If you use a voice to command, you expect to have a possibility to never touch any key.
If you have JS enabled, you can delegate a submit event to anything you want. But even if JS is disabled, the user must have a way to do an implicit submission without being forced to see a separate and visible button.
The only use case that I can imagine is when you want to submit a blurred input, that is, without focusing it, but in my situation, I want to disable such action. Is there another use case?
EDIT
As I said in a comment, there will be no secondary/additional functions. Just one function, especially start a search. For example, the browsers don’t have such a button near the URL bar.
And I’ll clarify: I’m asking about a situation when the user can’t do (that is, can’t use a form) without an explicit, visible input…
