Bug description
It is very easy to accidentally cancel a copy operation, especially when copying multiple files/folders one after another. Between copy operations, I navigate the file structure using the arrow keys and Enter. If the copy dialog pops up at that moment, pressing Enter immediately activates Stop and cancels the copy. Very annoying.
Steps to reproduce
- Start copying a file/folder in Nemo.
- When the copy dialog appears, press Enter.
- The copy is cancelled.
Expected behavior
Enter should not activate Stop by default. The Stop button should not have focus when the dialog appears.

Research direction
Start at Nemo's copy dialog and inspect how the Stop button receives focus and handles Enter when the dialog appears. Reproduce the issue by beginning a copy and pressing Enter as the dialog opens; done means Enter no longer activates Stop by default and the Stop button is not focused initially.
