like so:

$("body").on("click", "#pp_full_res button[name^=calc_shipping]", myWorkingFunction);
$("textarea#myid").on('keyup', checkEnter);


function checkEnter(e) {
    if (e.keyCode==13) {
        e.preventDefault();
        myWorkingFunction();
    }
}

Notice: move your working function to an external function so you can call it from different places..
