[Bug] Enter key does not submit standing prompt — only mouse click works #1506
Description
What happened
In the standing-prompt confirmation ("wants to keep a rule"), pressing the Enter key on a selected option does nothing. Only a direct mouse click on an option triggers the action.
Steps to reproduce
- Trigger a standing prompt (e.g.
wants to keep a rule). - Press Enter (or Return) on the keyboard, focused on or navigating to an option (e.g.
1 Keep this rule).
Expected behavior
Pressing Enter selects the focused/highlighted option and confirms the action.
Actual behavior
No action on Enter keypress; the choice only registers when clicked with the mouse.

Fresh current-dev card/line pointer and Enter tests passed (TestArrowsWalkThePointerOnACardAndEnterTakesIt,TestArrowsWalkThePointerOnALineAndEnterTakesIt,TestEnterTakesTheAnswerThePointerIsOn; included in a 0.061-second focused UI run). The original standing card was later retired by #1831; the shared answer-selection behavior remains covered. Closing as fixed in #1627.tui3: enter takes the answer the pointer stands on, on a standing card (
