Comment(by mpt):
Enter is the standard key for the primary commit button in dialogs, to be
avoided only in highly dangerous situations. It’s true that someone might
press it by mistake when they haven’t set proxy settings yet. But it’s
equally true that someone might press Enter by mistake in a Print dialog
when they haven’t set duplex settings yet, or in a Save dialog when they
haven’t chosen the appropriate file format yet, or in a Find dialog when
they haven’t set the appropriate case-sensitivity yet. That doesn’t mean
those dialogs shouldn’t respond to the Enter key, and they do.
I don’t believe for a moment that changing the access key is not possible.
I’m sure you can find some way to do it. ;-)
