Lex, here's a thought: can you determine which Widget or DOM element that you want to gain focus when the user hits ENTER? If you can, don't bother creating that event, just talk directly to the widget or the DOM element through JSNI and give it focus. I don't know why your solution doesn't work, but I think setting the focus on something is the better approach. Not sure though for your specific situation.
