Description

By default when the user presses ENTER key while in a HTML form element the browser will submit the form.
Sometimes this is not desired and the application wants to prevents the submit event.
There are questions in StackOverflow [1] and in Wicket JIRA [2] how to do this.
I think it is a common problem and Wicket should provide an AjaxBehavior or AjaxCallListener instead of every application to create its own.
