DialogWrapper OK Button Enter key

Hi Miloslav,

Please provide more context. What actions require pressing enter, what components are there, etc.?

Hi Karol,

the DialogWrapper binds keystroke ENTER to its OK button. That means, every time I press ENTER anywhere on that dialog, the window closes. I have couple of controls on this dialog window, for example integer fields, where when I edit, out of habit I press ENTER, which closes my dialog, although I'm not done editing all the others. It's annoying...

Thanks for the explanation. I get it now.

Enter hook is installed in DialogWrapper.installEnterHook(), and you should not change this behavior for standard components.

3rd-party plugins’ behavior should be consistent with the Platform. It would provide a bad user experience when all the dialogs close on enter, and there is one that does not. Navigating between fields should be done by Tab or Shift+Tab; I believe this is how most users work.

Consider validating fields if the dialog is not fully filled with the data.
