Here is one way to get a Shift+Enter button
Evaluate:
ButtonBox["Shift+Enter",
ButtonFunction :>
FrontEndExecute[SetSelectedNotebook[InputNotebook[]];
FrontEndToken["EvaluateCells"]], ButtonEvaluator -> None,
Active -> True] // DisplayForm
Select it, use "Evaluate Palette from Selection", close and save it to some
FrontEnd\Palettes directory beneath the $UserBaseDirectory or
$BaseDirectory.
The resulting notebook is included below.

Mathematica-Compatible Notebook
This notebook can be used with any Mathematica-compatible
application, such as Mathematica, MathReader or Publicon. The data
for the notebook starts with the line containing stars above.
To get the notebook into a Mathematica-compatible application, do
one of the following:
* Save the data starting with the line of stars above into a file
with a name ending in .nb, then open the file inside the
application;
* Copy the data starting with the line of stars above to the
clipboard, then use the Paste menu command inside the application.
Data for notebooks contains only printable 7-bit ASCII and can be
sent directly in email or through ftp in text mode. Newlines can be
CR, LF or CRLF (Unix, Macintosh or MS-DOS style).
NOTE: If you modify the data for this notebook not in a Mathematica-
compatible application, you must delete the line below containing
the word CacheID, otherwise Mathematica-compatible applications may
try to use invalid cache data.
