Maybe others with more GWT Form experience can chime in, but adding a KeyboardListener to your text boxes to do a form submit seems completely reasonable and non-hacky. In fact, it's completely in line with traditional UI paradigms, where the whole form submit() concept and all is what's really unusual. Another idea is to extend the FormPanel to something like MyCoolFormPanel and add your own .setDefaultButton method on it. Simply my random thoughts. Good luck!
