Bug Description

currently Return and Alt+Return are consumed by the keyboard mappings:

[PreviewDeck1]
LoadSelectedTrackAndPlay Alt+Return
start_stop Return

These mapping does only make sense if the focus in on a track table.
In all other cases, the events are ignored, but they would be useful to navigate though the library.

Alt+return for example is the standard mapping in Firefox for "open link in a new tab"
I like to use this for the encoder click
like discussed here https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1493 which can still be uses to preview the track if we are in a track table.
