I have a ui\_form and I want to have the `return` key act as if the `Submit` button was pressed. Can anyone think of away to accomplish this?

the return key is active when you get to the enter button, you can tab between the field of the form. If you want to submit a non-complete form then maybe don't use a ui\_form and use separate widgets and a join node ?
