If you set a defaultButton on a container, ENTER will click it. If you tab to another Button, ENTER will click that other button. That's the way Windows does it, and the way we do it in Flex.

Pressing enter to submit an entire form and spacebar to click a specific button is a fairly standard UI practice, and something you shouldn't change without a good reason. But if you've got your heart set on it, one option is to subclass Button, put your code in there and use package:MyButton in place of mx:Button.
