Enter key should be meaningful in dialogs

31SFX4 commented 3 years ago

Pressing the enter key in any input field or dialogue should really be essentially like pressing the relevant save button. As far as I can see, it never does that:

In the timer, when I write a task into the "What have you done?" field at the top and then press enter, it just seems to reload the whole page (losing all changes), but I would expect it to save the description and start the timer.
when I edit an existing entry in the timer view, enter just closes the dialogue without saving, but it should save the changes.
in the projects view, when I edit a project name and press enter, it opens the colour picker, again I'd expect it to save the changes.

This is really confusing when you're used to working with the keyboard rather than the mouse.

:heavy_plus_sign: :one: for this! I'd really like to be able to start new time entries by just hitting enter key!

But on the main page "timetracker", it would be better to confirm the value with the Enter key after typing "What did you do?". Currently the page reloads when you use the enter key, which is not a good user experience and it's not the reaction a user expects with an input field .

The first problem will be solved when PR #187 is implemented. I'm using his PR as a patch right now and the user experience is indeed much better.
