When searching for files (Ctrl+Alt+F) and there are unsaved files there is a confirmation dialog that asks to save these files. The default action (Enter) is Cancel. In http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Dialogs there is written about confirmation dialogs: "Set input focus on confirmation button by default. But set focus on disruptive button (Cancel, Don't apply or the like) if the dialog comprises of critical confirmation. " The dialog contains no critical information (just a question whether to save or not). Therefore the default button should be "Save selected". (There are some other confirmation dialogs in kdevelop that could be changed that way)
Proposed a patch here: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/116457/
