jqt will setAutoDefault(true) for the default button. but I am not sure if setDefault(true) should be used instead (I'm too slow to understand the documentation). Also the parent form in jqt is not a QDialog, instead it is a top level QWidget without any parent, so I don't know if default button can apply.
IIRC the problem with form_enter in jqt is that it is always triggered whenever an Enter key has been pressed, no matter the child control had processed it or not. If you examine the event log, you might notice this.
