Yep. Besides, it would be necessary to introduce some safety dialog to "Enter" 
key as well because it is probably the most multivalued key.  Pressing 
"Enter" can mean so different things to happen depending of non-Markov chain 
of previous events, that it is awfully dangerous, just glaring usability 
issue to have it working immediately after pressing, without any further 
warning. It can lead to so much frustration when some action happens right 
after pressing "Enter" key, with no way to think twice about that.
