But people who a re used to the Enter key submitting the form (the standard behavior for web forms) _will_ be disadvantaged. If I come across a form that does *not* submit on Enter, I'm irritated enough that I'll find a webmaster address and send a complaint.
How can breaking a standard, and standard behavior, be 'usability'?
