KeyDown of mouse was deprecated. This also isn't UserInputService. If it were, it would've looked like this

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService"

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
    if (InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return) then
        if not (bar:IsFocused()) then
            print("was focused")
        else
            print("wasn't focused")
        end
    end
end)

This Service is quite useful though in most cases and can do much more than just Keyboard Input. Consider reading about it more!

Side note: If you're trying to make an Event fire off of TextBox's Focus being lost, simply use the FocusLost Boolean

bar.FocusLost:Connect(function(Return)
    if (Return) then
        print("TextBox's Focus was lost.")
    end
end)

It provides an argument that'll allow you to check whether Return was pressed too

You're using mouse.KeyDown. They key is a string. Not an enumeration. You shouldn't be using mouse.KeyDown anyway; it's deprecated. You would also have to use key:byte() to check for non-alphanumeric characters.

Use UserInputService

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then
        -- # ...
    end
end)

Since you are using a TextBox you can use the FocusLost event.

box.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
    print(enterPressed and "wasfocused" or "no")
end)

enterPressed is a boolean that is true if the reason for focus lost was because you pressed the enter/return key.
