Description Syam 2012-09-30 09:39:27 UTC 
The short-cut Alt+Return (i.e. the big 'enter' key on the main keypad) opens the item properties dialog. But hitting Alt+Enter (the key on the numeric keypad) actually opens the item.

These keys are used interchangeably for all purposes I know (except perhaps some games). IMHO there's no reason why Dolphin should be any different. 

Several times, I have accidentally selected a bunch of files selected and hit Alt+Enter and had a plethora of windows opened by Dolhin!

Although this is user configurable, I guess a more sensible default would be to treat these key combinations as equivalent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a bunch of files/folders
2. Hit Alt+Enter
Actual Results:  
Lots of windows open up - for opening each item.

Expected Results:  
One single property dialog comes up.
