Set default submit button on a page with GWT -

I found few ways to set default submit button on page with GWT.

Add key press handler for all form fields check for Enter button press and take action. You can add common key press handler for all form fields. This way you are not adding multiple handler for each form field. (I am assuming you understand what is ui handler and how it works.)

@UiHandler({ "txtCompanyName", "txtcontactName", "txtEmail" })
public void onKeyPress(KeyPressEvent event) {
     if (event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode() == KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER) {
          // TODO: Take your action.
     }
}

Enclose all your form fields inside com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.FocusPanel and handle key press event on this focus panel.

     @UiField
     FocusPanel mainPanel;
            .
            .
            .
     @UiHandler("mainPanel")
     public void allkyePressHandler(KeyPressEvent event) {
          if (event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode() == KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER) {
               // TODO: Take your action.
          }
     }

Add page wide native event handler and intercept each event, check if it is Enter button and take your action.

     Event.addNativePreviewHandler(new NativePreviewHandler() {

          @Override
          public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent event) {
               if (event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode() == KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER) {
                    // TODO: Take your action.
               }
          }
     });
