Description
A CheckboxList allows toggling the state of the current item by either Enter or Space. I'd like to use Space to toggle and Enter for another purpose. But when I add a KeyBinding to handle enter, that key still toggles state.
How can I override this key when focus is on a CheckboxList?

Research direction
Start by locating the CheckboxList key handling and the KeyBinding resolution path for Enter and Space. Check how the existing Enter toggle is selected and whether a custom binding can take precedence. Done means Enter serves another binding while Space still toggles the current item.
