Description

In the New Document window, hitting enter after typing the name, or the resolution, should confirm (just like clicking OK). It currently works only if those values haven't been changed.

I'll usually click OK if I haven't adjusted any of the defaults, but it feels super weird to type something, and then use my mouse to finish what has become a keyboard-based task, so I always end up hitting Enter and then remembering it doesn't work like that.

Research direction
The issue reports that pressing Enter after editing fields in the New Document dialog does not confirm, but clicking OK does. Investigation should focus on the dialog's keydown event handler for the Enter key, likely in the UI component that renders the New Document dialog. The code likely has a condition that only triggers confirm when the default values are unchanged. The fix would involve ensuring the Enter key triggers the confirm action regardless of whether values have been edited. Review any existing tests for the dialog to verify behavior.
