You can list multiple events as the first parameter (though you still have to handle each event):

$('#txt').bind('keypress change', function (e){
    if(e.type === 'change' || e.keyCode == 13) {
        alert('you pressed enter ^_^');
    }
})​;​

I’m using bind on purpose, because the OTs fiddle uses jQ 1.5.2
