Description

Describe the bug

When you open the semantic domain Tree View (e.g., in Data Entry), you can use Tab to shift focus between different elements. If you click the double-^ icon, it returns to the top of the tree. But if you tab to it and press Enter, then the current domain is selected.

Expected behavior

Pressing Enter when a button is in focus should do the same as clicking the button.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the semantic domain Tree View opened from Data Entry, focusing the double-^ button with Tab and pressing Enter. Inspect the Tree View keyboard handling and compare it with the button's click behavior; done when Enter returns focus or selection to the top of the tree just like clicking the button.
