What is the Appium Android name for the check button on Android keyboard which has a, b, c, ..., and back, cap buttons

There is a “check” button on Android keyboard, I could not find the official name from either org.openqa.selenium.Keys, nor io.appium.java_client.android.nativekey.AndroidKey.
I used both ENTER and RETURN, none of them is working. I could not find DONE or SUBMIT buttons

## How To Emulate IME Actions Generation

Very often Android developers use [onEditorAction](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html#onEditorAction(android.widget.TextView,%20int,%20android.view.KeyEvent)) callback with `actionId` argument to implement actions handling, for example, when `Search` or `Done` button is pressed on the on-screen keyboard. Appium since version 1.9.2 allows to automate the generation of such actions by providing the special `mobile:` command.


### mobile: performEditorAction

Executes the given editor action on the _currently focused_ element.

#### Supported arguments

 * _action_: The name or an integer code of the editor action to be executed. The following action names are supported: `normal, unspecified, none, go, search, send, next, done, previous`. Read https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo for more details on this topic.

#### Usage examples

```java
// Java
driver.executeScript("mobile: performEditorAction", ImmutableMap.of("action", "Go"));
```
