When sending an Email, I have 3 dropdowns (combo box). (To, CC, BCC)
You have to type something in to help filter the data, and you can up/down arrows to navigate to the record you want.
Point is, you can use the Keyboard almost exclusively.
Problem is, once you have arrowed to a selection in the drop down, the only way to "select" that option is to click on it.
... because if you <Enter> on it, it WILL select it, but then wants to close the form as if you clicked Save... which prematurely closes and sends the Email before you have finished.
Its too much mouse and keyboard, back and forth.
Would be nice for an experienced user to navigate, filter, select, TAB to next field, etc. without back and forth to the mouse.
I could change the SAVE button to NOT close the form after save. But then I still need a "Send It" button. And it won't let me have a
[Save] [Close] and [Send It] buttons across the bottom "default" area.
Any ideas?

Have you tried using a modeless form?

I second this question from Jaymer.
It would be very nice to be able to put in more buttons in the default area.
Is there some reason why this is not possible?

Re: How can I stop the <enter> key from closing a Popup?
When a drop down list is shown and a user has used the cursor to select the value that they want, pressing the tab button moves the cursor to the next field with the selection highlighted being set as the drop down field value.
