1.8b6: Usability - Enter key in search field should not reset view and filter

[Larry Michel]

I have habit of hitting ENTER key when I do a search. This is typical of most search engines so I tend to hit ENTER key after entering a filter. The behavior of the MAAS UI is to clear the view completely and reset even the filter string itself. It's really about usability since I should have gotten used to it by now, but I can see this being potentially frustrating, at least initially.

I think UI should ignore the ENTER key when focus is on search field.

I'll second this - I make this mistake all the time and it's definitely frustrating

[Carla Berkers (carlaberkers)]

Yes, this is definitely annoying!

Normally if the focus is on the search field and the user hits enter, a search should be performed.

In this case I suppose the search is performed instantly anyway (thanks angular), so nothing has to happen when a user hits enter.
