Re: [Gimp-developer] Can hitting Enter/Return twice apply changes made in popup dialogs?

[C R <cajhne gmail com>]

Wait, what? Oh, I mean the third enter. Sorry, you're right, you have to
hit enter to confirm the option.

1st enter opens the combo box, 2nd enter confirms the selection. Third
enter commits.

Enter/Return to apply the changes of the dialog, after hitting enter to
confirm the value.

Better?
