Some keyboard usability issues with Smart Input:

1. Default action is inconsistent between different types of Smart Input. Hitting **enter** works for single line ones. But for multiline, that just adds another line -- there is no way to execute the default action for these type from the keyboard.
* Proposal: standardize on **Ctrl+Enter** for all Smart Inputs.
2. Keyboard actions on buttons: if user **tabs** to the OK or Cancel buttons, neither **enter** (for default action) nor **esc** (cancel action) work on the Smart Input dialog.
3. Continuation of above: shouldn't continually hitting **tab** cycle between Smart input content and the 2 buttons? Currently, it does this: Content -tab-> OK -tab-> Cancel -tab-> Widgets tab (dismisses Smart Input)
