How do I bind "Enter" to a command in VS Code?

Question

I went to Code->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts to bind ENTER to the acceptSelectedSuggestionOnEnter command (somehow my VS Code stopped letting me accept input suggestion by pressing Enter...), but I wasn't able to enter ENTER by pressing it when it asked me to "press desired key combination and then press ENTER" because the entry box closes on ENTER.

It's difficult (impossible?) to do in the keyboard shortcuts UI for the reason you mentioned, but you can do it in the keybindings.json file with "key": "enter" like shown in the docs. You can open up keybindings.json using the Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) command in the command palette.
