But I see what you're saying about multiple tabs, which is why I asked this question here: [Prevent Multiple Tabs](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-do-i-prevent-multiple-pages-with-the-same-url/80560)

(I haven't worked on the tab issue since the last post, as there were other things to deal with.)

The issue I have with the Enter key is that I have to press it twice to get the "action" to work if I input values into the numeric input fields. If I use the text input boxes, I only need to press Enter once.

A colleague asked about a higher level function/listener, i.e. Project/Session, that might be able to solve this, which is why I asked.
