As originally reported here: https://launchpad.net/bugs/41644 it seems
that the enter key could be used to improve Adept's keyboard
navigability, thus increasing accessibility.

Shameless copy/paste of the bug: 
"This is a wishlist item. It will marginally enhance accessibility by keyboard 
but especially improve the convenience of the UI. When the focus is on the 
package list, Enter/Return does nothing until the listed package is expanded 
(right cursor), and the tab focus is brought around to one of the buttons 
("install/remove" and "details").

 The following improvement would be similar to the expand/collapse
feature of the left and right cursor actions on the focal list item:
Enter/Return could be made to cycle through the different available
actions, namely "install", "upgrade", "remove" and "purge" (also "cancel
changes"). This improvement would mean the mouse does not have to be
used, and neither do the left and right cursor keys (plus several tab
key-presses), to choose the desired action.

 This would be very useful to those who know what a package does, and
for example merely want to upgrade or remove a package with a minimum of
graphical changes, and fewer key strokes. It would cover those users who
are not necessarily new to Kubuntu but prefer Adept to apt-get's command
line interface and Aptitude. And it would include those with slower
computers who prefer a GUI over the shell.

 For multiple selections with different available actions, the
Enter/Return key probably ought not to toggle arbitrarily through
different available actions, so the Enter/Return action might default to
no action, or simply bring up the context menu."
