I'd like to be able to hit the Return key to execute the finalAction during finalCountdown. Hopefully it's not too much hassle to add a key binding for this.

I am familiar with these focus issues from working on the swiftDialog code to have it run at login window. And to be honest, even the policy banner feature in macOS doesn’t always get it right.

That said, it shouldn’t be an issue for anyone who already has to click around for user entry.

It was an oversight that we haven't done this yet. Thanks for pointing it out. Implementing this is easy. It will be in the next build.

However...

There is a weird thing where Setup Manager does not gain keyboard focus when launched after enrollment. You can tell this because the progress bar stays grey, rather than taking on the accentColor. When you click in the Setup Manager window, the progress bar takes on the accent color and keyboard shortcuts work (there are more, the i key open 'About this Mac…', h opens the help menu, space bar will show a scannable bar code with the serial number)

But you have to click in the window once before the keyboard focus moves to Setup Manager.

I have tried a bunch of things, but the context here over Setup Assistant is unusual and the usual commands don't seem to work.

So, even once you have the build with the proper key assignment, you will still have to click at least once... sorry.

Would it be possible to have the Return key submit the user entry page as well? (I can open a separate issue if you'd like.)
