A jQuery solution.

I came here looking for a way to delay the form submission until after the blur event on the text input had been fired.

$(selector).keyup(function(e){
  /*
   * Delay the enter key form submit till after the hidden
   * input is updated.
   */
       
  // No need to do anything if it's not the enter key
  // Also only e.which is needed as this is the jQuery event object.
  if (e.which != 13) {
       return;
  }
   
  // Prevent form submit
  e.preventDefault();
               
  // Trigger the blur event.
  this.blur();

  // Submit the form.
  $(e.target).closest('form').submit();
});

Would be nice to get a more general version that fired all the delayed events rather than just the form submit.
