Make pressing "enter" on Links List save changes

Title:
Make pressing "enter" on Links List save changes

Area:
Customize Journal Style

Summary:
If you're managing your links list (http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=linkslist) and have your cursor inside one of the text boxes and press enter, it activates the More Links button rather than the Save Changes button. I propose that this be changed.

Description:
When I push the enter key while my cursor is in a textbox, I expect it to activate the Save Changes button. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but that's pretty universal behavior for most forms.

If most people prefer the current behavior and would rather it be kept, can the page at least be forced to, when you hit the More Links button, remember unsaved information in the textboxes so users won't have to re-type what they already had there?

I would prefer the second of the two options.

Yeah, I definitely think it should remember what was in the text boxes, but I'm not so sure about having enter save changes.

More links should definitaly save current work. When the title attr was added a few days back I went to edit it in, but my paid status had expired. by simply loading the page I lost all my excess links, re adding them was annoying as I kept hitting more links then havign to hit back and saving to not lose work done.

But also think enter should be save as that's what you're likely to want to do it you're done, whereas more will be annoying if you've actually finished, that shold be a conscious click option I'd say.

That's my "with changes". Not saving text already entered is broken behavior IMO.
