When filling in a dialog, Tab will cause the focus to move through the widgets. It would be helpful and improve usability if pressing Return or Enter would trigger the same event as pressing OK with the mouse.

In a build a dialog may pop up at the start to request some information. This should be controllable entirely via the keyboard if possible.

    Hello,

    The issue with this is that a form may have several buttons of type "Ok". We cannot guess then which one should be called.
    What may be possible is to add an attribute to <button> to specify which is to get the Enter/Return event. I'll try to have a look at this when I get the time.

    Regards,

    Patrick
