>From the Apple Publications Style Guide (December 2009):


enter
Use enter, not type, to describe inputting text-based information or data
(for example, in a text field or spreadsheet, or at a command-line prompt).
Such text is typically entered by typing, but it could also be copied and
pasted, or even dragged. Use type to describe simply pressing keys to
produce characters on the screen. Use press, not type, to refer to pressing
keys on the keyboard.
* Enter your account information and tap Save.
* The intelligent keyboard may suggest corrections as you type.
* Press the Return key.
