External Keyboard doesn't trigger the ReturnCommand with ReturnType="Go" on Entry
Description
When using an Entry on Android with ReturnType="Go" and a ReturnCommand it doesn't get called when using an external keyboard. The phone keyboard on the other hand works normally and triggers the command.
This worked fine in our Xamarin Forms app (that we are now trying to migrate to maui). This feature is important to us because we use Yubikey USB-C for Auth and they behave as a Keyboard input on Android devices.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps for bug (external keyboard):
- Run app and enter some text on Entry
- Press "Enter" on an external keyboard (for example using an Emulator on a computer and using the computer's keyboard)
- Result: Instead of executing the command the app changes Focus to the next item (in this case it's the Switch)
Steps that work (internal keyboard):
- Run app and enter some text on Entry
- Press the submit button using the "internal" keyboard
- Result: Command executes as it should
