Default button behavior

[Kenneth Spence-2]

If a button has the default button attribute checked and one hits the  
Enter Key or Return key the record is saved even when no short cuts  
are set and no action.  Is this normal behavior?  Using v11.4

I believe so.

Historically, if I've wanted 4D to do something specific when the user
hits Enter or Return, I've had to create a button for the purpose and
give it the appropriate shortcut. If you don't have any shortcuts on
any buttons, in my experience 4D applies the default behaviour of
Enter, Return and Escape, which are set in
Preferences/Application/Shortcuts.

I don't see any Shortcut preferences for Enter, Return or Escape.  I  
do see where shortcuts can be set for Accept and Cancel of input forms  
and accept for Subforms but I don't have any shorts cuts for these set.

I really only set the default button for the graphic look which form  
the Documentation is all it really is for.  It appears there is some  
undocumented action that the default button has other than a graphic  
change.  I have tried setting the text to a color to make the button  
more noticeable but it never has worked for me on a Mac.  I have seen  
the color text work on Windows.

I tried setting another button with a shortcut of Enter and the  
Default button still ran.  The only form event I have set in the  
Default button is on clicked.
