OK button in xforms dalog
Is there a possibility to invoke the OK button in dialogs like Insert-Tabular with the Return key? The picture -' on the button seems to indicate that somebody was thinking of this possibility at some point of time, but it does not work for me neither in 1.4.0cvs nor 1.3.5cvs. Andre'

Well, not here. This is fvwm2 but I doubt this is the reason. Could this be somehow connected to the problem I had with Return in the minibuffer lately? What should I do to debug this? Andre'

Yes.

Ok, you asked for this...
This stuff is handled by xforms. Grab the xforms source
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=xforms
The shortcuts are handled in lib/forms.c, here:
static void
fl_keyboard(FL_FORM * form, int key, FL_Coord x, FL_Coord y, void
*xev)
{
FL_OBJECT *obj, *obj1, *special;
/* always check shortcut first */
if (fl_do_shortcut(form, key, x, y, xev))
return;
I guess that a few print statements in do_shortcut will reveal more...
