    The enter key will default to the *first* submit button within a form.
    This isn't specific to WO. One way to get the enter key to default to a
    particular action would be to have a hidden button that calls that
    action as the first button in the form.

    If anyone has a nicer solution to this - I'd be keen to know about it.
