--- Comment #2 from Noah Davis <noaha...@gmail.com> --- The reason for this may not be clear, so I'll explain it. Basically, Qt (our UI toolkit) has conventions for how Space and Enter are used for activating controls. - Space: Pretty universally able to activate things, except for when Space needs to be treated as a character, such as in editable text controls. - Enter: Only used to activate list/grid/tree view items, menu items, the default button for a dialog, and accept text in text fields. Why is this? My guess is that Win32 for Windows does the same thing, so Qt did it too. I don't know if Cocoa for MacOS works the same way, but there's a good chance it does. There is a mechanism for globally changing what keys can activate buttons, but we haven't used it yet and it would mean default buttons in dialogs often won't be activated when Enter is pressed when they used to be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
