Hmmm. In my experience is that even a desktop app sometimes/often lets a 
user fill out a form (supply parameters using more than one widget) and 
then tell the app "make it so". And these usually have both a button to 
that effect and will treat "Enter" as meaning the same. Anywho...

Allow the user the convenience of Just Hitting Return to start a search 
instead of making them click a "Search" button.

They can click various buttons to initiate the search in different ways, 
or just hit Enter to get the default way.

Standalone. The world is mine. :)

I went ahead and trapped keypress and kick off the search if the key 
happens to be "Enter" -- nothing wrong with that.

Much appreciated. This is a good community. I am actively pitching 
qooxdoo to that other big community, comp.lang.lisp. Actually I ended up 
here because someone over there said you all looked "interesting". That 
is high praise from a Lisper, actually.

cheers, kenny
