For example pressing Enter on the Save as file name text box will save the file (same as pressing the save button bellow)
Pressing Enter on the Editor > Playback > Delay Between Frames value box will commit it to selected frames, or using the Override Delay or Change Delay dialog pressing enter will 'Apply' the values as the button bellow.

I had to change this a bit. Enter already changes focus to the next element.

To apply or cancel the action of an open panel, you can press Alt + E or Esc.

Hum, could it be Tab to focus next element instead, and leave enter for committing values?

It seems more predictable and closer to standard behaviour this way.

Sorry, I got confused, haha. Other app that I'm developing have this behavior (from my work place).

That's right, Tab focus to the next element and Alt + E to apply or Esc to cancel. I'll add Enter as apply too.

Hehe no problem, quickly switching between multiple multiple applications can get confusing at times!

Sounds awesome this way, looking forward to trying it out in the next release
