ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-01-06 20:30:32 UTC 
The way you activate buttons focused with the keyboard is the Spacebar, not the enter key. This is a general thing across all Qt software. Some keyboard-focused UI controls somewhere may also activate with the enter/return key, but the most reliable and officially supported way is with the spacebar.
